Mission:
The Fell Arboretum is committed to collecting diverse species of trees and other plants integrated with art and architecture on the campus of Illinois State University with the principal goal being to sustain a living laboratory as both an educational resource and an aesthetic experience. We also strive to incorporate and promote environmentally safe and sustainable practices in order to preserve and protect that which has been given to us.
Vision:
Fell Arboretum continually strives to exemplify the vision of our forefather Jesse Fell in providing our University community, as well as the communities that surround us with an opportunity to experience a unique and diverse plant collection that is conducive to the studies of botany, horticulture and forestry, in an environmentally sounds and sustainable manner.
