- Landis Arboretum.
"The Landis Arboretum is a public garden on 548 acres and six miles
of hiking trails overlooking the Schoharie Valley near Esperance,
NY. Forty acres are developed with plantings of trees, shrubs, and
herbaceous perennials from around the world. The remainder of the
property consists of natural areas, woodlands, and open fields
reminiscent of the former farm on the site. Trails and trail maps
help guide people through the formal collections and natural areas.
These maps can be found in the kiosk in the main parking lot...
Landis is one of the four more significant arboreta in New York. The
others are the Planting Fields Arboretum in Oyster Bay and Bayard
Cutting Arboretum in Great River (both on Long Island) and the
Cornell Plantations in Ithaca, which has an extensive scientific
orientation.. Approximately 6,000 people visit the Landis Arboretum
each year:"
