The University of South Carolina, the Friends of the Arboretum, and SFNA will celebrate the 2nd anniversary of the restoration of the Arboretum and host the launch of the USC W. Gordon Belser Arboretum Endowment Campaign on Monday, March 3 from 6pm to 7pm at the Sherwood Forest ARP Church on the corner of Wilmot and Beltline.

The program will include a brief PowerPoint presentation of the history of the Arboretum as well as the current plans and activities.

The Arboretum will be open for trail walking (entry and exit from Bloomwood Gate only) from 4:30-5:30pm. Refreshments will be available at the ARP church from 5:30pm til 7:30pm so we encourage you to attend and learn about the Arboretum and meet your neighbors.

Mr. Christopher DeWolf of USC will explain the details of the Arboretum Endowment Fund which will allow the Arboretum to continue to be cared for and remain a jewel in our neighborhood.
