As The Arboretum has taken form through the years, several projects have been constructed to aid in the research and education components of The Arboretum’s mission, including development of a nature trail, conversion of the original cattle tank to a pond for a study aimed at preserving the unique Little Colorado spinedace, a Constructed Wetlands to study how native plants are able to adapt to both extremes of wet and dry conditions, and expansion of greenhouse and bedhouse facilities.
