For more info visit 200acreswalk.com 

200 ACRES is an immersive and site-specific soundwalk through the PSU campus and the arboretum about how we shape the nature around us, and how nature shapes us. An invitation to see the extraordinary in the mundane.
..
To experience the soundwalk, you download a custom-built app and bring your own mobile device and headphones. The experience starts in front of the Eisenhower Auditorium. From there, the app will guide you through known and lesser-known paths, shedding a new perspective on familiar places. Your location and movements will conjure the sound and text you are hearing.
.
Layered with disarming metaphors, historical details, and personal musings, 200 ACRES will take you on a personal meditation through the physical, cultural, and geographical landscapes we inhabit.

The experience takes about 60 minutes. You will walk approximately 1 mile, including grass, pavement, gravel and natural soil. 

The walk begins at the Eisenhower Auditorium and ends in the Arboretum. From the ending point of the walk, it takes 15 minutes
to walk back to the Eisenhower Auditorium. 

We recommend doing the walk in the morning,
