George G. Willis Jr. Arboretum
The George G. Willis Jr. Arboretum seeks to educate students on Furman’s campus, as well as the nearby communities of Greenville and Travelers Rest, about tree diversity, identification, conservation, care, and value. It ultimately strives to be a model for other arboretums in the Southeast and across the nation. The focus on native species makes the George G. Willis Jr. Arboretum representational of arboriculture in upstate South Carolina, and it will provide learning and research opportunities regarding the region’s arboriculture.
