Arboretum

Valley Species Site

This site is where the arboretum effort began. It contains our most mature trees. Most of these are typical of the Valley, and many are also favorite trees and shrubs for home landscaping. This area also contains a memorial birch grove and a bench constructed by Daniel Drebelbis in an Eagle Scout project.
