ABOUT
Bayard Cutting Arboretum
Originally wooded a site, the development of the Bayard Cutting Arboretum began in 1887. It provides “an oasis of beauty and quite for the pleasure, rest and refreshment of those who delight in outdoor beauty” while bringing about “a greater appreciation and understanding of the value and importance of informal planting.” The Arboretum was donated to the Long Island State Park Region by Mrs. William Bayard Cutting and her daughter, Mrs. Olivia James, in memory of William Bayard Cutting. The site consists of a collection of fir, spruce, pine, cypress, hemlock, yew and other lesser known conifers. Contained within the collection are several trees which, regionally, are the largest of their species. Wildflowers and daffodils are feature in many native woodland locations. Combined with the site’s ponds and streamlets, there are ample opportunities to observe a broad range of land and aquatic birds and occasional glimpses of fox, raccoon and other small wildlife.

FUN FACTS
The diverse world of plants is perhaps the weirdest, and most fascinating, of all living things. Bamboo can grow over three feet in one day (you can literally watch it grow). There are 600 species of carnivorous plants, which trap and digest insects, frogs, or small birds (if a vegetarian eats this plant, are they still a vegetarian?). The world’s largest flower, Rafflesia, can grow up to three feet in diameter (how big would a bouquet be…). Do a little digging on your next trip to a botanical garden (not literally!), and see what interesting plant facts you can find.
