Our entire campus is designated as an arboretum. We also have a 70+ acre Campus Woods with many mature specimens in their native habitat. Our Dwarf Conifer Garden is listed with the American Conifer Society as a reference collection and has been established for over 10 years. A complete inventory of campus trees is available online in a searchable database with locations mapped. Please feel free to explore our collection either physically or virtually.
The East Tennessee State University Arboretum has been established to promote the beauty and diversity of the campus landscape, and to inform the public of the scientific, aesthetic, and economic values of plants in our environment. The Arboretum serves as a focal point for organizing and educating persons interested in improving the regional landscape and deepening their appreciation for the botanical richness of the Southern Appalachian Mountains.
