Our Mission

To raise and donate funds, materials, and services to the Town of Acton for the development and maintenance of the Acton Arboretum; to educate the community about the unique environmental, horticultural, geological, and historical qualities of the Arboretum property, about the process of wetland and field succession, and—in an era of decreasing public funds and natural resources—about conservation, effective horticultural practice; and generally to do all things permitted to non-profit organizations under the provisions of Chapter 180 of the General Laws of Massachusetts and Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1984, as from time to time they are amended.
