THE GLENWOOD ARBORETUM
CERTIFIED ARBORETUM
Established in 1855, Glenwood Cemetery encompasses 47 acres, including nearly 1,000 trees representing 57 species. Situated along the south bank of the Flint River, it also contains two heavily wooded ravine areas, which are home to birds, deer and other wildlife.
Open daily to visitors, Glenwood Cemetery and its tree collection represent an important green space across the river from the kettering university campus in Flints urban center. Glenwood's trees are predominantly native species, though it also boasts a very rare Yellowhorn tree, which is native to China. Visitors are encouraged to view the collection of trees, each of which is identified.
