The Friends of the Palomar College Arboretum, in support of living with nature, have come together to promote and protect the Palomar College Arboretum.  We believe that arboretums and gardens enrich our surroundings and enhance our sensitivity to nature.  We believe it is important for us and future generations to sustain this connectedness to nature.  We belong to nature and what we do to nature, we do to ourselves.  In this light, it then becomes our mission to preserve the Palomar College Arboretum as an important part of our community.
