The Union College campus became an affiliate site of the Nebraska Statewide Arboretum in April 1981. Named after Union's director of grounds from 1948-1969, the Joshua C. Turner Arboretum contains more than 100 identified species of trees and bushes. The following data was collected by the fall 2004 Botany class.
