Arboretum

Our 2.2 mile Nature Trail roughly follows the perimeter of the 216-acre campus.

The trail was established in 1933 by the Campus Club, a group of interested alums and students to showcase the college’s growing collection of trees and shrubs and encourage bird-watching. Athletic teams soon found the trail an excellent place to train. Today, portions go through the Arboretum’s conifer collection in the 18-acre Pinetum, past athletic fields, through our cherry and azalea lined Woolman Walk, around meadows that support wildlife, and alongside the scenic 3-acre Duck Pond and pollinator garden.

Please follow these simple courtesies so others may enjoy the trail as well:

• No biking
• Dogs need to be leashed at all times and not allowed on athletic fields
• Clean up after your pet
• Properly dispose of all waste and litter
