General Rules and Regulations at the Fullerton Arboretum |
|
|
Welcome to the Fullerton Arboretum. Open since 1979, this 26-acre site provides a peaceful respite from the busy modern world. The splashing of the waterfall, the play of sunlight on green leaves, and the smooth glide of ducks on the pond all combine to establish a soothing, tranquil tone that is attracting a growing number of visitors. You are invited and encouraged to share and enjoy the special world created within our gates.
Fullerton Arboretum serves community needs in the areas of education, conservation, and research. We are pleased that your group has chosen to visit the Arboretum grounds.
