Founded in 1966, Waubonsee Community College is preparing learners for success in the 21st century by raising student achievement through academic quality and technological innovation.

The purpose of the Waubonsee Community College Arboretum is to celebrate, enhance and maintain 200+ acres of trees, shrubs and wildlife habitat areas. We manage our campus acreage so as to nurture and instruct young and old, teachers, students, staff and surrounding community members. Plantings reflect a goal of building collections for scientific study as well as aesthetic appreciation, with sustainable maintenance and ecological awareness as guiding principles in what we do.
