May Arboretum Society

For 40+ years, the May Arboretum Society has worked behind the scenes to support the Wilbur D. May Arboretum and Botanical Garden, one of Northern Nevada’s most beloved public spaces.

We’re a nonprofit organization dedicated to stewardship, education, and preservation. Our members, donors, and volunteers have helped fund everything from irrigation improvements and garden expansion to third-grade pollinator programs and free field trips for Title I schools.

Our vision is simple: ensure the Arboretum has the resources it needs to become a world-class destination for generations to come.

Join us for the May Arboretum Society 2026 Gala on June 13 and help support the stewardship, education, and preservation work that keeps the Arboretum growing.

Join us in honoring the legacy of Rod Haulenbeek, beloved “Tree Hunter” and friend of the May Arboretum Society, while introducing the Tree Hunter Collection and Tree Hunter Legacy Fund.

Together, these efforts will help expand the Arboretum’s living collection with remarkable tree specimens from around the world, creating something that will grow, quite literally, for generations.

Every ticket directly supports the May Arboretum Society Endowment Fund and our work to ensure the Wilbur D. May Arboretum and Botanical Garden is cared for today and here for future generations to discover, enjoy, and steward.
