The arboretum is private property, governed by a board of directors. It is open daily to arboretum members, their guests and the general public for a small admission. The grounds are for their enjoyment and general use as long as they follow the arboretum’s policies and guidelines and demonstrate proper and lawful respect for all arboretum property. 
 
Many volunteers and employees have invested much time, money and resources to create what you and many others have come to use, enjoy and appreciate.
