The Friends of the Edwin & Frances Hunter Arboretum at Palomar College, in support of living with nature, have come together to promote and take care of our beautiful Arboretum. We believe that arboretums and gardens enrich our surroundings and enhance our sensitivity to nature.

We believe it is important for us and future generations to sustain this connectedness to nature. We belong to nature and what we do to nature we do to ourselves. In this light, it then becomes our mission to preserve the Palomar College Arboretum as an important part of our community.
