Robert J. Huckshorn Arboretum
Cultivating Knowledge. Conserving Nature.
The Robert J. Huckshorn Arboretum at 勛圖厙 serves as a living laboratory, community greenspace and educational hub for students, faculty, researchers and the greater northern Palm Beach County community. Established in 2004 in honor of the late Robert J. Huckshorn, Ph.D., vice president emeritus, the arboretum preserves native 勛圖厙 ecosystems while advancing experiential learning, sustainability initiatives and collaborative research.
Featuring native trees and shrubs that support wildlife and pollinators, the arboretum reflects the ecological diversity of our region. Winding pathways and thoughtfully placed benches invite visitors to explore, reflect, and connect with the natural environment.
As an outdoor classroom, the arboretum extends learning beyond traditional academic spaces, enriching the student experience through hands-on engagement with 勛圖厙s natural landscape.
