Today, Hayes Arboretum continues to connect people to nature through instruction, experiences, and amenities. People from around the world visit to see forests that are 500 years of age, acres of pollinator prairies, and over 100 tagged specimen trees. Thousands of people visit the Nature Center and Nature Playscape to interact with exhibits and play in nature. From the original land that Stanley purchased to the natural spaces donated by those in the community, Hayes Arboretum is comprised of 466 acres of protected forests, prairies, wetlands, and more.
