Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ

Welcome to the Arb

Our 125-acre campus natural resource—free and open to all—connects Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ and the surrounding community to nature and to each other. With 2.5 miles of trails through three ecosystems, the Arboretum at Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ (the Arb, for short) holds hundreds of different species of trees, shrubs, native plants, birds, and animals.

For a fun trail to run, a shady labyrinth to walk, a sunny meadow for a blanket, or to learn more about our natural history, you’ll find it here and more. Reflect, recreate, contemplate, and delight in the natural world of our place here in Minnesota.
