Its story
Karaca Arboretum was founded in Yalova in 1980 by Hayrettin Karaca, one of the pioneers of nature conservation. In the garden spreading over the slopes, thousands of tree, shrub and plant species from different parts of the world are grown; the collection stands out especially for its oaks, maples and conifers.
