Dinosaur State Park and Arboretum - Arboretum

Arboretum

The arboretum's goal is to grow representatives of as many Mesozoic Era plant families as possible on the site. It currently contains more than two miles (3 km) of nature trails with more than 250 species and cultivars of conifers, plus collections of arborvitae, chamaecyparis, ginkgo, juniper, Katsura, pine, and magnolia. Some rarer species in the arboretum's collection include the evergreen Southern Magnolia and the Monkey Puzzle. Recent plantings have focused on woody plants from the Cretaceous angiosperm families.
