Robert J. Huckshorn Arboretum While most people value nature, few of us take the time to actually enjoy and connect with our natural environment. The Robert J.

Huckshorn Arboretum provides our community with a unique opportunity to explore that connection. The Arboretum highlights our Florida eco-systems by featuring native trees and shrubs. Pathways wind their way thorugh the landscape, inviting the local community to explore and enjoy this peaceful haven. Benches are scattered throughout, allowing visitors a chance to slow down and take pleasure in a moment of solitude in their otherwise hectic daily lives. The Arboretum is named after Dr. Robert J. Huckshorn, who,after playing a number of key roles at Florida Atlantic University, currently serves as Vice President Emeritus of FAU's MacArthur Campus. When Dr. Huckshorn retired, the University set aside a part of the campus to be dedicated as an Arboretum in honor of his many years of service. His vision for the Arboretum is that it feature native Florida plants and become a resource for teaching and research on the MacArthur Campus. This group is for anyone who is interested in supporting this unique natural resource on FAU's Jupiter campus.
