MISSION

FLA engages our community and visitors by providing opportunities to enjoy and learn about this irreplaceable resource and to preserve it for future generations.

What we do.
Over the past few years, FLA has helped to fund the construction of the new Seed Conservation Laboratory, the establishment of the Larry Helber trail, as well as the Centennial Celebration for the now 100-year-old arboretum. Each summer, FLA sponsors an annual summer internship program at the arboretum.
Our community of members make it possible.
Our members and supporters are individuals and organizations who care about the arboretum, its grounds and the important research, conservation and educational programs there.
Supporting Lyon Arboretum supports our community.
