Connecting with Nature. Connecting the Community.

Take a moment to remember the last time you embraced nature. When you step outdoors and feel the fresh air hit your lungs, enjoy the sun on your face, and listen to the leaves crunch beneath your feet, there is no denying the healing power of nature. The Northland Arboretum provides nature connections by maintaining a 400-acre nature preserve in the middle of a bustling city. When you walk the 12-mile trail system you feel the worries and chaos of the day melt away. Things become quiet and you can truly connect with nature and help your physical and mental health.  When you participate in one of our many nature workshops, you become a steward of our nature world. When you volunteer in the gardens and feel the dirt in your hands, you are creating bonds with nature as well as your fellow volunteers. These connections would not be possible without the support of our donors and our members. Give today so we can grow our Arboretum and continue to provide amazing outdoor experiences for children, youth and adults. Your gifts will help us provide Nature Camp for children this summer. It will allow us to grow our outdoor programming and bring new topics to the surface. Your donations will help us create a natural playscape area to keep kids curious, creative, and engaged with the wonders of nature. Your gifts will improve our infrastructure and help us replenish our collections of plant species and habitats as we restore our mission of becoming a true Arboretum. There is no other natural area in the state that is quite like our Northland Arboretum, and we are proud to serve this community. Thank you for your donation and helping the Arboretum thrive so it may remain a beautiful greenspace for future generations to enjoy!
