An arboretum is a designated area, often a park or garden, primarily used for the collection, cultivation, and study of trees and other woody plants. It serves as a living laboratory for research, education, and conservation, showcasing various species from around the world. Arboreta (plural of arboretum) often feature pathways and informational signage that help visitors learn about different plants and their ecological importance. These spaces promote biodiversity, provide habitat for wildlife, and offer a tranquil environment for recreation and reflection. They play a crucial role in environmental education and the preservation of tree species.
