Causes: Botanical Gardens & Arboreta, Environment
Mission: Entrusted by nassau county to steward the 42 acre arboretum created by frank bailey over a hundred years ago, friends of bailey arboretum endeavors to access this growing collection of exotic and native shrubs and trees to the public. We seek to draw a range of visitors to learn, study, experience, and celebrate this beautiful setting.
Programs: We maintain the grounds and the buildings, provide identifying and historic signage, provide paths and walkways through the property, hold seminars and nature walks, provide educational programs to visiting groups, invite local universities to conduct studies here and hold community festivals related to nature that support the arboretum.
