Coastal Carolina University Arboretum

Jimothy had a blast enjoying the CCU Arboretum this summer!!

The Canadian Goose (Branta canadensis) is protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA). They form lifelong partnerships and are fiercely protective of their goslings.

Northern cardinals (Cardinalis cardinalis) are easily identifiable songbirds on campus. The male cardinal is bright red, while the female has warm brown feathers with touches of red.

Hello summer! 🌸☀️Blooming into longer days, brighter skies, and a season full of sunshine. 🌿💛

Take a look at what’s blooming in the CCU Arboretum.🌿

A peaceful pause with Chauncey and a dusty miller (Jacobaea maritima).

Happy first day of summer!

The CCU Arboretum is home to more wildlife than you might think. Green Anoles (Anolis carolinensis) play a vital role in keeping insect populations balanced. 🦎

Explore campus and see what wildlife you run into!
