Summer is here! The forest is green and the weather is hot!

Please make sure you are prepared for the hot weather before hiking on the trails!

Remember to leave wildflowers and all other natural objects in the forest for others to enjoy.

No hunting or collecting is allowed at Hayes Arboretum.

Hayes Arboretum is a private property and classified forest. This means that you cannot collect or hunt mushrooms, flowers, plants, animals, and other natural objects from the property without permission of Hayes Arboretum staff.

Please follow these rules and stay on the trails.
Help us protect the forest for future generations.

Thank you!
