The Arboretum is open!

The Connecticut College Arboretum provides a welcome connection with the natural world, offering opportunities for teaching, research, conservation, recreation and public education. 
 
The Arboretum's Native Plant Collection, Caroline Black Garden and Natural Areas are open to the public every day of the year from dawn to dusk. Please note the new guidelines, stay healthy and enjoy your visit.

The Campus Landscape remains closed to the public. A limited selection of Arboretum public programs will be offered during the spring semester. We will continue to work with the College to assess the situation and post updates as available.
