Kalamazoo College Lillian Anderson Arboretum

Yesterday, the Outdoor Leadership Training Center took future LandSea leaders and community members out to the Arb for wilderness medicine scenarios. Back boarding, wound care, and mini-searches on our trails help prepare students for (almost) anything that could happen in the backcountry. We love our outdoor classroom! 🩺🩹🏕️ And don’t worry, no CPR dummies were harmed or dropped along the way!

The trails are reopened! Thanks again for steering clear of Not-So-Mag and a section of the Powerline. brought seven sheep for the third year of a prescribed grazing project, and thanks to Not-So-Mag is re-opened! We always love spending time with the sheep - see if you can find the graze plots on your next hike! 🐑

Hey visitors! We’re taking advantage of the lovely weather to carry out some land management work at the Arb.

Not-So-Magnificent Pines, a section of the Powerline, and the Powerline/Flooding Bypass connection are CLOSED today (Thursday) through Monday, June 1. Thanks for taking a different route on your visit!

Happy end of Earth Month! The Arb looks a little different each season and we’re happy to be open to the public throughout the whole year. Thanks to our Kalamazoo College student crews who work hard to keep the trails clear! ☀️🍁❄️🌱

April showers bring spring… Garlic Mustard! As you enjoy the Arb trails, keep your eyes peeled for this quick-spreading non-native. Pull from the base of the stem to remove the roots, toss the plant into trash bags or the labeled bins on trail, or bring it home to experiment with this edible invasive. Thanks for helping native plants thrive!

It’s a beautiful weekend to bundle up and enjoy a sunny snowy walk at the Arb! ❄️⛅️

Good morning! Lots of trees down at the Arb today after last night’s storm, be careful out on the trails and be prepared to turn around or carefully go around fallen branches. We are working on clearing it all up!

How nice to see a blue sky over the Powerline! Throw on some boots and enjoy the winter rays ☀️❄️🧤

Home from work? Bundle up and hit the trails!

The Powerline is bursting with fall colors! Come enjoy a walk, open dawn to dusk 🍁
