Comprehensive History
The Wooster Arboretum was established in 1908 by Edmund Secrest on a 75-acre area at the Experiment Station. A few plantings of hardwood species were made as early as 1901, but the development of the Arboretum and a more planned planting of the acreage began in earnest in 1908. The arboretum has historically integrated forestry and horticulture in such a way as to permit studies in plantation management, wood utilization, forest genetics, and the testing of ornamentals[1]. The Arboretum was dedicated as the Secrest Arboretum in 1950 in memory of Secrest, known as the "father of forestry" in Ohio.
