    Nestled within the Morton Arboretum's East Woods, the Spruce Plot unveils a historic tale from the 1800s. Once utilized as woodlots by local homesteaders, this specific plot witnessed complete clearing before the Arboretum's establishment. Initiated in the 1920s, the Spruce Plot served as an experimental forestry endeavor, evaluating the lumber potential of spruces.
