Into the Arb: A History of the Cowling Arboretum at Carleton College - Paperback

by Ingrid Case (Author), Nat Case (Author), Franky Jackson (Contribution by)

Marking the centennial of Carleton College's Cowling Arboretum, this book explores how that century saw the life of this land intersect with a changing college, a changing Minnesota, and a changing world. It traces a line from millennia of Dakota stewardship, through the beginnings of Northfield, Carleton, and the Arboretum, to today's focus on restoration ecology. More than 250 maps, photographs, and illustrations show the evolution of the Arboretum and our ideas about it.

Join generations of Carleton community members in celebrating a space for education, recreation, and conservation-and sometimes a respite from academic rigor. Mental, physical, and spiritual refreshment is just a step away, Into the Arb.
