The Arboretum Park Conservancy is a citizen voice for the Arnold Arboretum as a public park. It is independent of both Harvard and the Boston Parks and Recreation Department.The APC’s goals are to promote public access to the Arboretum and to increase the variety of visitor experiences.
The central achievement of the Arboretum Park Conservancy is the incorporation of the Bussey Brook Meadow into the Arnold Arboretum Indenture.
Throughout the Bussey Brook Meadow, the Arboretum Park Conservancy has placed beautiful informational signage created by APC Board Member Anne Schmalz.
As part of the Arboretum’s Entrance Improvements Project, the Washington Street Gate Improvements Project is now underway!
Volunteers are vital to the success of the APC’s efforts. Thank you to the wonderful volunteers who come and contribute to the beautification of our local urban wild!
Thank you for your interest in and support of our local natural treasures. We need your continued support to bring other exciting projects to completion.
