Uhlenhopp Arboretum
Discover Uhlenhopp Arboretum in Grinnell
Uhlenhopp Arboretum was gifted to Jasper County Conservation by Elliot Uhlenhopp, a former chemistry professor at Grinnell College. “The world needs more trees; plant as many as you can,” and that’s just what he did. He planted tens of thousands of trees all over his 250 acres and built 7 ponds, named for the days of the week. There are mowed trails for hiking, a picnic shelter, food forest and a cabin that is available to rent.
