Arboretum

Meet out trees! Spend some time on our campus getting to know about trees through an Arboretum tour. Click on the trees to learn more about them.

The Seedling (for ages 4-7) and sapling links (ages 8-11) are found on each tree page and invite you to become involved with the saint Michael's College Arboretum project. Education Department students, in consultation with Botany students, have created hands-on experiences designed to teach children about trees.
