ICC ARBORETUM

 
Mission Statement

The Independence Community College Arboretum is a living plant museum showcasing trees and shrubs hardy in the Southeast Kansas area.  Collections are selected and arranged to display their beauty and function in urban landscapes, to demonstrate their natural ecology and diversity, and to conserve diverse species and cultivated varieties for the future.  The arboretum is intended to serve as an educational tool for the campus and regional communities about native and cultivated plants, improve the beauty and atmosphere of the campus, promote the conservation and preservation of our natural resources, and provide recreational opportunities.
