We’re in the final stretch of Give BIG Green Bay! Here are five reasons to support the Cofrin Memorial Arboretum at UW-Green Bay!
1. Access to the Arboretum is free for all.
The Cofrin Arboretum is a community treasure that can be used by all from dusk to dawn 365 days a year. Your gift ensure this availability and access.
2. Preserve and maintain natural communities
The Arboretum provides food and shelter for wildlife, including an estimated 45 mammal species, more than 200 resident and migratory bird species, as well as significant populations of native amphibians, reptiles, insects, and other arthropods. The arboretum is inhabited by at least two federally endangered species, the rusty-patched bumble bee and northern long-eared bat.
3. Beautiful setting for University and neighborhoods
The Arboretum also contributes significantly to the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay and local neighborhood’s environment, making it one of the most beautiful college campuses in the United States.
4. Recreation space
Recreation in nature is beneficial to mental and physical well being. The Cofrin Arboretum provides access to more than 6 miles of trails for snowshoeing, bird-watching, biking, cross-country skiing, running, walking and more.
5. Outdoor classroom
University and high school classes make use of the Arboretum for lab exercises, field trips, and student projects, and through grants, UWGB students to conduct independent research on the arboretum lands.
