The Dawes Arboretum has a history with wildlife viewing that includes recorded wildlife observations by founders Beman and Bertie Dawes.
Recording wildlife observations and wildlife management continues to be a priority of The Dawes Arboretum.

Collaborative partnerships with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Ohio Division of Wildlife and Universities are imperative to wildlife management at The Arboretum.
With the aid of volunteers, our staff continues to monitor wildlife populations and inventory wildlife species. Meet some of The Dawes Arboretum's wild inhabitants below!
