At Cornell Botanic Gardens, we’re pleased to make our grounds, trails, and outdoor spaces available to the public during the COVID-19 crisis.

With your help, we can keep our grounds open.

• Maintain at least a 6-foot distance from others

• Wear a face-covering when it is NOT feasible to maintain physical distancing measures

• A face covering or mask must be readily available on your person (e.g., worn around neck) when you are outdoors on university-owned property

• Visit alone or in small family groups (less than 10 people)

• Take away your trash

Other important information for visitors:
