The remarkable journey of the Jane E. Lytle Memorial Arboretum began in 1994 when it started on a 20-acre, donated parcel. Initially featuring basic walking trails, the arboretum has evolved over the years into a center for environmental education projects and outdoor events. Its mission, which initially focused on promoting and protecting open space and conservation education, has now expanded to address the pressing issues of climate change through local conservation initiatives.
The Jane E. Lytle Memorial Arboretum owes its growth and success to the support of the community, local businesses, and generous visitors who have long recognized the importance of preserving this natural haven. Contributions of time and financial support are the lifeblood of the sanctuary. All donations (to Croton Arboretum and Sanctuary, Inc.) in support of this precious resource are fully tax-deductible.
