the Crosby Arboretum

The Crosby Arboretum is passionately dedicated to fostering public awareness and appreciation of the natural environment. Our mission is reflected in our efforts to conserve, safeguard, and showcase the native flora of the Pearl River Drainage Basin ecosystem. We offer unique opportunities for botanical and environmental research while providing a broad spectrum of cultural, scientific, and recreational programs.

At the Arboretum, visitors can explore three distinct habitat exhibits: the Savanna exhibit, the Woodland exhibit, and the Aquatic exhibit. Here, one can notice both subtle and dramatic changes in landscape patterns. Besides the 104-acre interpretive site, we also maintain 700 acres of off-site natural areas for scientific exploration and preservation.
