The information center will be a rustic,
open-frame pole building. Inside the open
building will be benches to sit on and infor­

Wendell Harmon of Beavercreek.
When completed, the arboretum will be
a six acre area adjacent to the ecology pond.
There will be many deciduous and ever­
green trees landscaping the area to provide
pleasant places for people to eat lunch or
just sit and relax.
Handicapped people will also be able to
use the arboretum. Wheelchair ramps will
be built and the paths will be wide and
level.
"Educational benefits and community
enjoyment will be the two major goals for
the future arboretum," said Dave Myers,
head of the agriculture department.
Classes from elementary and high schools
will be able to take guided trips through the
arboretum and learn about different kinds
of trees. The public is invited to enjoy
themselves on a self-guided tour by taking a
pamphlet containing information about the
various trees from the information center
and strolling through the arboretum.
