Chesapeake Arboretum - A Virginia Treasure<br />
The Chesapeake ARBORETUM was certified a Virginia Treasure,<br />
designation in January 2016, by Governor Terence McAuliffe, saying in part:<br />
“...For centuries and around the world, our Commonwealth<br />
has been known for the beauty of our environment and for<br />
the rich diversity found in our forests, wetlands, streams<br />
and fields. These treasures benefit <strong>all</strong> Virginians and are<br />
economic and environmental assets. Most importantly,<br />
they are a huge part of our culture.”<br />

The ARBORETUM is changing every day. And this f<strong>all</strong><br />
and winter it’s <strong>all</strong> about families! (Isn’t that <strong>all</strong> of us?)<br />
