Troy University Arboretum in Troy, Alabama, is a public botanical garden and nature preserve beside the university campus. Covering 75 acres, it combines a managed collection of more than 300 tree species with a broader natural landscape. A 2.5-mile nature trail connects major features across the site, including a swamp, a stream, and Mullis Pond, a four-acre body of water. Its importance lies in preserving a varied local habitat while also functioning as an arboretum tied to the university, creating both a cultivated garden and a quiet outdoor preserve in the Troy area.
