Support the Longview Arboretum and Nature Center! Arboreta and botanical gardens are invaluable to communities, offering more than just beautiful green spaces. They provide numerous environmental, social, and economic benefits that enhance the quality of life for everyone. Additionally, gardens play a crucial role in promoting mental health and well-being. Nature has been shown to reduce stress, improve focus, and increase overall happiness. LANC provides a peaceful escape for individuals and families to connect with nature, offering them a restorative environment in the midst of busy lives. It's a place for all generations to learn about the natural world and take part in hands-on experiences that foster a deep appreciation for the environment. LANC also serves as an educational and social hub for the community, offering a variety of programs, workshops, and events throughout the year. The Arboretum creates opportunities for people of all ages to engage with nature. It's a place where families can create lasting memories, where school groups can enjoy field trips that teach important lessons about ecology, and where the community can gather for cultural events.
