Site Description: The Arboretum is a project of the University of Tennessee Forest Resources Research and Education Center. It generally hosts more than 30,000 visitors annually. This 250 acre research and education facility has over 2,500 native and exotic woody plant specimens that represent 800 species, varieties, and cultivars. The UT Arboretum is truly a place for all seasons. Even on a winter day a brisk walk along any one of the four self-guided walking tours can be a rewarding experience.

Wildlife to Watch: Common birds of Tennessee can be found here, including White-breasted Nuthatch and Eastern Bluebird. There are moderate chances of viewing Red-tailed Hawk and small mammals on a trip to the arboretum, in addition to the collection of plants.
