At The Dawes Arboretum we share our love and knowledge of trees with our community in Licking County, just 30 miles east of Columbus, Ohio.  As a nearly 2,000 acre accredited Arboretum, or tree museum, we are unique.  We ensure access to memorable experiences in nature that create lifelong engagement with our supporters.  

Founded in 1929 by Beman and Bertie Dawes, The Arboretum was inspired by the couple’s love of trees and nature.  Today we remain dedicated to our mission of enriching lives through the conservation of trees, nature and history by providing exceptional educational programs and events as well as maintaining nationally recognized horticulture collections.
