Enjoy a beautiful evening in OneTree Alaska's birch grove under the full moon just before the winter solstice. 

Between noon and 6 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 16, participants can learn about the long-term monitoring of birch trees in the University of Alaska Fairbanks T-field and celebrate the tree stewardship that supports OneTree's mission. 

Stay for an hour or the evening and bring a thermos with your favorite hot drink. Park and walk from West Ridge ski hut on the ÐÔÓûÉç Troth Yeddha' Campus or the Large Animal Research Station at 2220 Yankovich Road.
