Clark’s very own forest<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Hadwen Arboretum, willed to Clark University in 1907 by Worcester resident and noted horticulturist Obadiah Hadwen, is located at the intersection of Lovell and May Streets on ancestral land of the Nipmuc Nation. Containing 26 acres of woodland green space in the heart of Worcester, the Arboretum lies at the midpoint of the East-West Trail<\/a>, a 14-mile hike through many of Worcester\u2019s parks and green spaces. By following this trail, you can visit Coes Reservoir, with waterfront access for swimming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
