About the Geografisch Arboretum Tervuren
The Geographical Arboretum of Tervuren features over 450 species of trees and shrubs grouped in 40 sections, each representing a forest type or regional vegetation association of the northern hemisphere (North America, Europe, Middle East, Far East). The collection is exceptionally well arranged in a splendid landscape park, covering 100 hectares of the Capucines Wood, adjacent to the Zonien Forest at the south of Brussels. The arboretum was founded on initiative of king Leopold II in 1902 and today still makes up one of the most attractive parts of the patrimonium that the king donated to the Belgian state and public one year later.
