Welcome to the Frostburg State University Arboretum web site!

The mission of the FSU Arboretum is to provide a growing, sustainable and safe resource for the campus and regional communities to engage in education, research, observation and contemplation while maintaining the natural setting of the mountains of Appalachia.

The Arboretum at FSU is comprised of nearly ten acres of land bounded by Midlothian Road, University Drive, and the football field. It is located on the edge of campus next to the football field and across from the Children's Center.

The Arboretum is open to the public seven days a week, dawn to dusk, free of charge.

An Arboretum guide/map will be available from this site in the future.

About the FSU Arboretum
Many students, staff, and faculty have banded together to work in the arboretum. Programs such as Americorps and the Allen HallSTARS! have aided to fund research and work. A grant from State Farm Insurance has also helped to fund the fight against Japanese Knotweed.
