Facilities within the Wesleyan Arboretum, such as the Anderson Cabin and the Edenfield Pavilion, exist for the use and enjoyment of the Wesleyan community and for promoting awareness and appreciation of the natural world within both Wesleyan College and the surrounding community. Wesleyan College has always cherished our beautiful campus. We invite all to enjoy the blessing that our Arboretum can share whether a short hike, skipping stones in the creek or having a picnic in the Edenfield Pavilion. That said, there are a few rules we need you to follow.
Casual use of the pavilion, cabin porch, and lawn areas (for resting, picnicking, etc.) by individual visitors to the Arboretum is encouraged and appropriate whenever the space has not been reserved by a group. Exclusive use use of the cabin or pavilion requires a reservation, made through the campus reservation desk at (478) 757-5233.
Any group reserving the Anderson Cabin and/or Edenfield pavilion must fill out and submit the Registration for Events in the Anderson Cabin and Edenfield Pavilion form, documenting the time, nature, and requirements of the event, the contact and sponsoring persons, and an agreement to read and abide by the rules for use of these facilities.
Any group wishing to use these spaces must arrange for a regular, full-time employee of Wesleyan College to attend the entire event and take full responsibility for the event, its participants, and the College facilities. Groups may be charged a nominal usage/custodial fee. The College reserves the right to to deny use for any event which is not compatible with the mission of the College and/or maintenance of these areas as rustic spaces. Access to the cabin and pavilion is primarily by foot and events which require motor vehicle traffic to the cabin/pavilion area will generally not be permitted.
In order to maintain the quality of the trails for recreational walking and running, motor vehicle use on any of the Arboretum trails, including the service road to the cabin and pavilion, is not allowed without express permission. Please do not make any lasting alterations to the trails, forest, or streams including, but not limited to, clearing trails, affixing signs to trees, rock stacks/sculptures, and any use of paint.
Reserved use of the Arboretum trail system for formal events may limit trail access by casual visitors and preclude reserved access to and use of the cabin and pavilion by groups.
