Things To Do

Experience the Arboretum

Come out for a relaxing walk on our trails and experience a variety of native Florida habitats. Educational signs along the trails explain a variety of facts regarding the plants, animals and habitats in the Arboretum.

For an easy walk, we recommend the Lake Loop which takes you around our 2 acre lake: Lake Ray. The Ravine Trail rolls along upland forest hills and has spectacular views of our spring-fed ravines. The Jones Creek Trail meanders across bridges over several streams amid the Jones Creek flood plain. Walk amongst some of our majestic oaks on the Live Oak Trail.

Volunteer to clear trails, map species or serve on a committee. We have on-site volunteer events on the second Saturday of the cool months. And if getting dirty is not your cup of tea -assist on a committee! We are looking for people with all sorts of skills and/or interests. Contact us for more details or with your suggestions.
