Goals of the Tree Collection

It is the intention of the Trust to exhibit at least one specimen of every Piedmont-Region tree that can appropriately be grown on the site.

Making this tree collection accessible enables

• visitors to acquaint themselves with the trees that naturally grow here

• students to learn and examine the trees

• tree species to be conserved

• native trees to be available to birds and insects that co-evolved with them in the Piedmont

• visitors to see trees that are not readily available to purchase for their own properties
