The building fund is targeted at $500,000. Plans call for the use of private funds to construct an educational center so the arboretum can host programs to teach students and adults about ecology and the natural world. Frank Taylor and his wife Helen, beloved long-term residents of Glen Rock, were active in both the Garden Club and the Arboretum before they passed away. The bulk of their estate was left to promote nature and gardening activities in Glen Rock. The arboretum, which centers on a pond fed by Diamond Brook, is honeycombed with short hiking trails and con- sists of planted gardens, natural North Jersey woodlands, and a collection of living trees and shrubs from temperate zones of Europe, Asia, and North America. Members of the Garden Club often volunteer to maintain the arboretum, working with local Scouts and the Master Gardeners. J. KOSTER
