Ohio Wesleyan students and botany professor David Johnson recently installed new aluminum tree identification markers for OWU’s Jane Decker Arboretum. The markers were donated by Henry Decker, husband of botany professor Jane Decker, who taught at OWU for 20 years before her death in 1988. Faculty and students use the arboretum as a living laboratory to study trees and other woody plants. Learn more about the Jane Decker Arboretum.
