Webster Arboretum
The Webster Arboretum is a planned community park. The goal of this park is to bring together the unique talents of our community members to develop and maintain this special setting in which to explore and learn about nature. The Webster Arboretum Advisory Committee will offer the total community the opportunity to experience educational, conservational and recreational opportunities by having programs for all ages here. The Town of Webster Parks and Recreation Department, in cooperation with local newspapers will inform residents about activities and educational programs at the Arboretum.
In 2000 an endowment fund for assuring the future of the Arboretum was created with the Rochester Area Community Foundation. the ongoing success of the Webster Arboretum requires the participation and generosity of the Webster Community.
"The Webster Arboretum is a place where people will visit a unique garden of natural beauty. The site is multi-use to include leisure, educational and cultural activities in a natural setting. It also enhances awareness of the value, beauty and need for protection of our botanical resources. Our goal is to create a park-like setting dedicated to quiet reflection, beauty, sight, smell and sounds of nature. We also aim at reflecting on the past, providing for the present and leaving a memorial and vision of the future. People of all ages will find something rewarding whether walking, listening to nature or a band, studying and observing nature or resting."
