I look forward to visiting this arboretum again.
There’s about to be more to explore in the Edith J. Carrier Arboretum!
A grant from the Chesapeake Bay Trust will support efforts to support reforestation (including the planting of 1,500 native trees and several hundred native shrubs), habitat restoration and watershed education tied to its ongoing expansion from 63 to more than 110 acres on JMU’s East Campus.
While many members of the JMU and the surrounding community enjoy walking through the Arboretum, it also functions as a living laboratory where students engage in research, restoration and career-connected learning.
