Earl L. Core Arboretum, Botanical garden at West Virginia University, United States.
The Earl L. Core Arboretum spans 91 acres of hillside and bottomland terrain, featuring extensive collections of native and cultivated plant species along the Monongahela River.
The arboretum was established in 1948 through the efforts of botanist Earl Lemley Core, who served as chairman of West Virginia University's biology department from 1948 to 1967.
The location maintains a network of educational trails where students and researchers conduct botanical studies and document local plant species throughout the changing seasons.
Visitors can access three miles of walking paths daily from sunrise to sunset, with free parking available at the dedicated arboretum lot near the WVU Coliseum.
The grounds contain more than 150 documented species of trees and shrubs, alongside a substantial population of spring ephemeral wildflowers that emerge between March and May.
