The Cooper-Young Arboretum project was created by the Cooper-Young Garden Club to encourage community involvement within our own urban forest. Our arboretum encompasses trees found in front yards, parks, and schools within our neighborhood. Our plan was to bring this arboretum to our neighborhood streets where residents and visitors walk, exercise, shop, dine, and socialize. Our desire is to add to our already beautiful canopy of trees, beautify our neighborhood, improve our air quality, and teach our children to love the beauty of nature. We will be living in a tree museum.
Visitors to the arboretum can expect to see a wide variety of trees. We have huge very old trees to those newly planted to view. We have a diverse number of conifers, oaks, and maples.
Our app features an interactive map to help guide visitors to all our different trees. Also, weve provided several resources for additional information.
