This year marks the 20th anniversary of the South Frederick Arboretum.

In 2004, the city, county, Frederick County Public Schools and community organizations came together to plant 265 native trees representing 70 species. See what they look like today!

We will start at the Arboretum and continue walking through the Carrollton neighborhood ending at the Carrollton Park. We anticipate approximately 40 minutes of walking (one way) with stops along the way (approx. 1.5 miles).
Wear comfortable walking shoes!
