The Story

The University of West Georgia Arboretum encompasses the cultivated trees, plantings, and landscaped grounds of the university's Carrollton campus, which spans roughly 645 acres in Carroll County.

The university has emphasized tree stewardship and campus greening as part of its grounds program. The arboretum complements West Georgia's other cultural resources, including its observatory and art galleries, as an accessible natural amenity in the heart of Carrollton.
