Avoid Construction Areas

Construction workers have begun removing old bridges and are in the beginning stages of constructing the new bridges in the Cofrin Arboretum! You’ll notice several areas in the arboretum with signs alerting you to ‘Keep Out’.  Please help us out and abide by these signs for your safety and to avoid impacting the construction work.

Bridge Out

Please be aware that ‘Bridge Out‘ means there is NOT a crossing and you will need to turn around and go back the way you came.

It’s important to remember that the Cofrin Arboretum is a research natural area that is managed for biodiversity and habitat, education and research.  The hiking trails are a community benefit, but are a secondary use of this area. Please stay on the hiking trails and abide by posted trail use requirements; this includes not bringing your pets to the arboretum.

One less bridge

It’s important to note that one of the bridges will not be replaced. Because bids came in much higher than we expected, difficult decisions needed to be made.
It’s not too late; we can still include this bridge if enough funds are raised by Nov. 19th. We would need at least $60,000. To donate, visit  www.uwgb.edu/arboretum or contact Jacob Depas at depasj@uwgb.edu.
