Naturalist interns – Arboretum History

A Love Letter to The Arboretum

Show me a University of Guelph student that has never visited the Arboretum and I will show you a student that is missing out.

The land where The Arboretum now grows has been home to plants and animals for thousands of years. It was home to Indigenous peoples before settlers arrived. We recognize the Dish with One Spoon territory, the treaty lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit, and the Between the Lakes Treaty 3 lands on which the University of Guelph and The Arboretum now sit. We are honoured to work on and care for this land.
