Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:
The Earl L. Core Arboretum is owned by the West Virginia University and is open to the public on a daily basis without charge. The 91-acre garden was established in 1948 by Professor Earl L.
Core and had been an invaluable educational resource for both the university and the public ever since. Best known for its amazing spring wildflowers, much of the Arboretum is covered by the Monongahela River flood plain, which includes a dense wooded area and a network of hiking trails, as well as three acres of planted, landscaped lawns and old-growth forest.
The Arboretum also has a small amphitheater and benches around the garden to sit, relax and take in the beautiful natural scenery.
