Recently the DuPage County Board Members from District 2 and District 4 visited The Morton Arboretum. President and CEO, Gerry Donnelly, and Bob Schillerstrom a member of the Board of Trustees welcomed us and lead the interesting and informative discussion.
The Morton Arboretum was established in 1922 by the Morton Family. The Arboretum has 1700 acres of plants, gardens, woodlands, prairie, lakes and streams. With 4,200 kind of trees from around the world, 16 miles of trails and 9 miles of paved roads, it makes a great place to escape from the stress of everyday life. There is a 4 acre Children's Garden and is the most visited arboretum in North America.
World renowned for scientific leadership with a team of 25 PhD researchers and staff scientists, the Arboretum is also home to a state-of-the-art Research Center.
One of the leading Arboretums of the world in size, age, plant collection, science and conservation. DuPage County is very fortunate to be home to such a unique and remarkable place.
Below you will find a video that gives a brief overview of The Morton Arboretum:
