‘Discover,
educate, serve & inspire’
Research: The UA Campus Arboretum is built upon the
historical priorities of the Land Grant Institution to
encourage land stewardship. Today we continue our
commitment to research which promotes sustainable land
management and conservation of plant biodiversity and
natural resources.
Education:
As a University, our priority is to
communicate knowledge that inspires students to make a
difference. The UA Campus Arboretum not only provides a
laboratory for active student engagement in a diverse array
of classes but also directly provides student employment
and practical experience by mentoring student projects. We
strive to provide practical experience, nurture passion and
depth of character that propels civic leadership.
Outreach:
We impact Arizona and a growing global
community as we exercise the UA mandate to serve &
inspire through public outreach. The UA Campus Arboretum
provides a wealth of knowledge through its online
resources, statewide programs to audiences of all ages and
free tree tours and events offered to Tucson visitors and
local residents.

Agriculture Experiment Station. The mission of the University’s Ag
