Stanley W Hayes Research Foundation Incorporated

Operated Hayes arboretum, open to the public january december of each year. In FY2025, we have been able to fully restore our operations to pre-2020 levels and were able to keep the grounds open for hiking and buildings open for normal educational activities. We manage buildings in the nature center complex (nature center, john turner-grey meeting room a.k.a. Annex, administration building, administration building library and Hayes museum) as well as the herb garden, butterfly garden and butterfly cottage as part of the nature playscape. We mow about 60 acres per week during the period from april 1st through october 15th. We support and service the brice e. Hayes memorial fountain, woodland chapel, paul c. Mcclure Native woody plant preserve and a 3.3 mile auto tour plus 5.5 miles of hiking trails on the west side of our property as well as help maintain 7.5 miles of multi-use trails (walking & running) on the east side of our property.
