The Haverford College Arboretum is an arboretum comprising the entire campus of Haverford College, in Haverford, Pennsylvania. It is open daily, dawn to dusk, without charge. The mission of the Haverford College Arboretum is to steward the College's historic tree collection while fostering a connection between our 216-acre campus and those who work, visit, study, and reside here. Maintaining the health, diversity, and history of the tree collection honors William Carvill's original 1834 landscape design, while our educational programming ensures continued engagement with this unique and treasured asset. As of 2006, the arboretum contains mature oaks and maples, specimen trees, flowering trees, and natural woodland areas. Over 1,500 trees are labeled with their scientific name, common name and nativity. Specific points of interest include: Ryan Pinetum - Over 300 mature conifers, labeled and arranged by family groupings. State champion trees - Loblolly Pine, Pinus taeda; and Hinoki False Cypress, Chamaecyparis obtusa. Penn Treaty Elm - a descendant of the American Elm under which William Penn signed his treaty with Native Americans; planted 1915. In 2010, a descendant of Haverford's Elm was planted in Penn Treaty Park, the site of the 1683 treaty. Asian gardens - the Denis Asian Garden and Teaf Memorial Zen-style Garden. 2.2-mile Nature Trail - A public, wooded recreation trail following the perimeter of campus, popular with runners and dog walkers
