¶þ´ÎÔªÄÛB

¶þ´ÎÔªÄÛB has earned accreditation as a level one arboretum. An arboretum is a botanical collection of trees of a variety of species. ¶þ´ÎÔªÄÛB was granted the accreditation from the Morton Arboretum, an internationally recognized tree-focused botanical garden and research center whose mission is to collect, study, display and conserve trees around the world.

¶þ´ÎÔªÄÛB has 58 species of trees on its campus, ranging from Norway Maples and Japanese Oaks to Flowering Dogwoods and Honey Locusts.
