The 100-acre F.R. Newman Arboretum is closed to vehicular traffic so that pedestrians can readily maintain the recommended six-foot distance from others.
Our Gardens and Natural Areas
We are responsible for the natural beauty of the Cornell University campus including cultivated gardens, an arboretum, and natural areas. Together these comprise one-third of campus, and with off-campus natural areas, a total of 3,600 acres.
WHAT TO SEE IN SPRING!
Spring unfolds starting with the emergence of early spring flowers and bulbs, followed by a succession of flowering fruit trees and magnolias, and hundreds of rhododendron blooms in late spring.
UPCOMING EVENTS
While we are unable to host on-site programs, we offer these online events, videos, activities, and articles to stay connected to our gardens and natural areas.
