Check out the Hadwen Arboretum this winter

Get outdoors and enjoy the winter wonderland at the Hadwen Arboretum!

The Hadwen Arboretum, bequeathed to Clark University in 1907, contains 6.4 acres of unspoiled woodland green space in the heart of Worcester city. The Arboretum’s network of trails and beautiful scenery offer a delightful sanctuary for hiking, picnicking, photography, quiet contemplation or even dog-walking. With over 40 types of plants, including unusual species and many ‘heritage’ trees over 100 years old, the Hadwen Arboretum invites nature study and applied research opportunities in the sciences, while recent issues with invasive species offer ecological research opportunities. A Regional Environmental Council community garden is also in the Arboretum. The surrounding area, accessed by a walk through the Arboretum, includes Coes Reservoir. This beautiful space provides water-front access for swimming and enjoying the natural setting. In all seasons, the Hadwen Arboretum is a little-known gem to explore and enjoy!

A short 20-minute walk from Clark University campus, the Hadwen Arboretum is located on Lovell and Willow Streets.

Directions from Clark: Downing St. toward Park Ave., right on Park Ave., left on May St. past the Big Y supermarket, left on Lovell St., right on Willow St.
