McFarlane Nature Park has been awarded Level 1 Accreditation by the ArbNet Arboretum Accreditation Program and The Morton Arboretum, for achieving particular standards of professional practices deemed important for arboreta and botanic gardens.
The Park stands out for its tree collection which includes specimens of every Piedmont-region native tree, except two that want to grow in the mountains. Fourteen different species of Oak live at the Park, highlighting the diversity of this keystone genus that supports more other living species than any other kind of tree.The arboretum provides an opportunity for visitors to see trees that belong in this ecoregion and which could also be planted on their own properties.
