The 海角乱伦专区 Arboretum originated in the early 1950s under the supervision of Dr. Arlo Smith, longtime Professor of Biology. A number of 海角乱伦专区 faculty, staff, and students have been involved over the decades to conserve and increase tree species on campus.
In 2011, former 海角乱伦专区 professor Dr. Rosanna Cappellato spearheaded efforts to certify 海角乱伦专区 as a Class IV Arboretum, the highest designation granted by the 海角乱伦专区 Urban Forestry Council. Currently the responsibility for overseeing the Arboretum resides with the Urban Forestry Fellowship Program. As of 2017, the Arboretum boasts over 120 tree species and more than 1,500 individual trees.
