The Arboretum Bench Project is now finished. Together with members of the Boone Rotary Club, Tom Brumback and Arboretum Director Mark Schneider placed the benches around the Treehouse Village and attached the donation name plaques. The DSM Woodworker's bench is near the front of the village. Thanks to all the woodworkers who made these benches and everyone involved to make this happen. Be sure to check out the Arboretum Treehouse Village which officially opens September 5, 2024.
