Welcome to the Nebraska Statewide Arboretum (fast facts). Our
mission is to "enrich lives through the beauty and wonder of plants."
An arboretum is a living museum where a collection
of trees and other plants is assembled and maintained for education,
research and enjoyment. Rather than bound to a single place, the Nebraska
Statewide Arboretum is a remarkable network
of arboretum sites, parks, historic properties and other public
landscapes located in dozens of communities across the state.
Linked together and supported by the Arboretum office
(map with office and greenhouse) at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, this unique statewide network
makes the Arboretum accessible and relevant to citizens across Nebraska.
