Arboretum Natural Areas

In addition to the 104-acre Interpretive Center site in Picayune, the Crosby Arboretum maintains seven natural areas in Pearl River, Hancock, and Lamar counties. These areas comprise nearly 1,000 acres and are being preserved and managed for research.
The natural areas were selected with diversity of vegetation types in mind. Longleaf pine forests, slash pine- hardwoods, sweetbay-tupelo-swampbay, beech-magnolia, baldcypress-tupelo, bottomland hardwoods, hillside bogs, and savannas are just some of the forest types represented.
