Jensen-Olson Arboretum is excited to announce the latest addition to the grounds: a new accessible pathway! Join Friends of Jensen-Olson Arboretum on Saturday, September 28 at 1 p.m. to celebrate with a ribbon-cutting and refreshments.

The newly constructed pathway will allow visitors with mobility challenges to move more freely through the garden. The project was made possible by generous support from the AARP’s Community Challenge Grant Program, the family of Cheryl Fluck, Juneau-Gastineau Rotary, Juneau Community Foundation, and Friends of Jensen-Olson Arboretum.

This event will be one of the last opportunities of the 2024 season to visit the Arboretum before it closes for maintenance until January.

For access and location information, visit JOA website.
