Another clean up has been scheduled for the arboretum. Come out
and help. There will be six different projects going on. Clean
trails, install fencing, repair swinging bridge, plant trees and
repair trail identification signs.
Simmons Arboretum is a 10 acre natural habitat bordering the
Natchez Trace Parkway. It was created from land donated to the City
of Madison by Dr. and Mrs. Walter Simmons. It has evolved from
unimproved land to a mile of walking trails with swinging and
stationary bridges, an observation deck and native plants with
identification markers. It is a city owned work in progress and
open to the public.
