Inspiration

The University of Wisconsin Arboretum is home to the first and one of the most successful prairie restorations in the world. At it you can experience a prairie as it was meant to be and come to understand the many processes that restore land back to health. The Arboretum is recognized world-wide for its pioneering work in prairie, savanna, forest and wetland restoration. Delve into some of the 20 miles of trails on this two-square mile tract of diverse land. Start your visit at the Visitor Center to find out exactly what the Arboretum has to offer!

Arboretum trails and the Visitor Center parking lot are open year-round from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. The Visitor Center is open weekdays from 9:30 a.m. – 4 p.m. and weekends from 12:30 to 4 p.m. (excluding holidays).
