Ron Rogers Arboreteum - Located at the corner of Hightstown Road (Rt.571) and Clarksville Road, across from West Windsor-Plainsboro High School South. The Arboretum, or garden of trees, was dedicated on Arbor Day 2000, in honor of Ronald R. Rogers, West Windsor’s own forester. Ron served on many shade tree and environmental groups in the Township and planted indigenous species of trees all around the Township. It was his vision to create a park where people could enjoy trees and learn about them. The site is currently under construction.
