About Mount Pisgah Arboretum

Mount Pisgah Arboretum is a nonprofit arboretum and botanical garden set inside the Howard Buford Recreation Area, between the Coast Fork of the Willamette River and the slopes of Mount Pisgah near Eugene and Springfield. The grounds cover about 209 acres and represent many of the habitats found across the Willamette Valley, including oak savanna, wetlands, riparian areas, and conifer forest. Four outdoor interpretive exhibits help visitors learn about local ecology. A network of trails, including a barrier-free loop and an improved access loop, runs through the site, and the arboretum also offers guided tours, workshops, volunteer work parties, and seasonal events. Its work is supported by members, donors, and volunteers.
