Created By: Cornell Botanic Gardens
The two ponds here were created in 1980 as part of the arboretum's landscape design and are frequently used for research and class instruction. Floyd R. Newman (class of 1912) provided funding for the construction of the ponds, paths, and other features that transformed a former cow pasture into this Arboretum in the 1980's. Look for turtles or fish in the water.

Sidetrip: Take a rest on the "Lightwave" bench in the grove along this path, which was designed by two former Cornell architecture students.
