University of Guelph Arboretum - Partnerships

Partnerships

The Guelph Arboretum upholds a membership with the American Association of Botanical Gardens and Arboreta, Botanic Gardens Conservation International (BGCI), the Canadian Biodiversity information Network (CBIN) and the Canadian Botanical Conservation Network (CBCN). This Arboretum also holds seed exchanges with organizations from around the world, they use wild seeds collected in an ecologically responsible manner, surplus material from the Arboretum itself, and seeds collected by volunteers from their gardens. These memberships and programs allow the Guelph Arboretum to work towards conservation of plants and research.
