Nebraska Statewide Arboretum : Connect : Arboretum Adventure

Chadron State College and Gifford Park Clues

Join us on an Arboretum Adventure!

From Brownville to Alliance, we facilitate a network of more than 100 arboretums and public gardens across the state that demonstrate regionally appropriate plants, adaptability and sustainability. These gardens represent efforts of every size, many of them undertaken by volunteers, that are cared for with pride and provide a bright spot in their community. Collective learning and the sharing of both successes and failures helps these gardens continue to grow, and give visitors beautiful places to enjoy.

Help us celebrate our 40th anniversary year by going on an Arboretum Adventure with a chance to win one of three family friendly prizes!

Visit and enjoy the participating arboretums, use the clue in your guidebook to locate the Arboretum Adventure plaque and make a rubbing of it. (don't forget to check their hours before traveling!)
