The James M. Cox, Jr. Arboretum Foundation
The James M. Cox, Jr. Arboretum Foundation was created in 1963 by a small group of community activists who were passionate about preserving the Dayton area’s undeveloped land.
Today, the foundation supports educational, scientific, civic, and cultural programs and activities relating to the advancement of arboriculture, horticulture and related fields by providing support for the Cox Arboretum as a free arboretum/museum for the benefit of the general public. You can donate to the foundation on their website.
