We are inviting the community to help shape the future of the Yakima Area Arboretum by participating in our upcoming Master Planning Open House on August 19 and/or by taking our 15-minute master planning survey.
The master plan will help guide the future growth and development of the Arboretum grounds and facilities. Arboretum staff, volunteers and the Board of Directors have been busy over the last several years to reach this important stage in the process and the community’s input is a vital part of this effort. Here is your chance to tell us what you most want to see happen at the Arboretum in the years to come. Do you want to see new pathways, display gardens or facilities? Time to let us know.
There are two ways to participate:
Attend our Master Planning Open House on Monday, August 19 from 6pm to 7:30pm where Arboretum officials and members of the consultant team will introduce the project, review the project’s vision and guiding principles, and listen to our community member's ideas about where future efforts should be focused as the Master Plan moves forward.
Take our 15-minute survey. The survey allows us to hear directly from community members about what is most important to protect, change or enhance at the arboretum. Visit the Arboretum’s website at https://www.ahtrees.org/ to take the survey and learn more.
