Bard's Arboretum works closely with the following organizations, institutions, and programs that operate at Bard College and within the wider Hudson Valley community.

Bard Center for Environmental Policy

The Bard Center for Environmental Policy's graduate programs combine an intensive course of study with practical training in preparation for environmental careers in nonprofit organizations, government, and the private sector. The programs emphasize methods of critical inquiry and provide the practical knowledge necessary to understand the legal, political, socioeconomic, cultural, and ethical forces that influence the decision-making process.
