About Viles Arboretum
Located in Maine’s Capital City, the Arboretum is a no-fee 224 acre botanical garden which features 6 miles of trails, a rotating suite of programs and events, a full service visitor center & gift shop, and an excellent wildlife viewing area. Dogs are allowed on the trails, on a leash at all times. Pet owners must pick up after their dogs. Viles Arboretum is an independent 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that was established in 1982 in conjunction with the Maine Bureau of Parks and Lands in order to provide educational, recreational, and inspirational opportunities through the conservation of land and the cultivation of trees and other woody plants from around the world.

I come to Viles Arboretum about once a month to hike, which I enjoy. However, I wanted to comment on my recent experience in the new barn! David went above and beyond for the Project WILD event to make sure that we were comfortable and had everything that we needed. He had tremendous enthusiasm as a facilitator.
