Heads up! Peavy Arboretum will be closed all day on Friday, June 13, 2025 for the College of Forestry commencement event

Peavy Arboretum has served as an outdoor teaching lab for generations of children and adults, and is a welcoming place for visitors interested in a picnic by the pond or a long hike in the moutains.  Its history is rich, and the land still shows evidence of use by the Kalapuya people, the Oregon State Forest Nursery, and the Civilian Conservation Corps Camp Arboretum.  Currently, the Arboretum hosts trailheads and walking paths open to the public, the George Brown Logging Sports Arena, and the OSU Research Forests Business Office.  Arboretum maintenance is funded entirely by timber harvested on the OSU Research Forests.
