Gunlogson Arboretum Nature Preserve

The Gunlogson Arboretum Nature Preserve is an arboretum and nature preserve which is now part of Icelandic State Park, 5 miles west of Cavalier, North Dakota.

The preserve lies along both banks of the Tongue River and is dominated by mature elm and basswood. It had been in the Gunlogson family for over 80 years when it was donated to North Dakota by G. B. Gunlogson in 1980.

The preserve's woody plants include "Acer negundo", "Betula papyrifera", "Cornus stolonifera", "Corylus cornuta", "Crataegus rotundifolia", "Eleagnus angustifolia", "Fraxinus pennsylvanica", "Populus tremuloides", "Populus balsamifera", "Prunus virginiana", "Salix amygdaloides", "Salix bebbiana", "Tilia americana", "Ulmus americana", and "Ulmus pumila". About a hundred other species are also represented on the site.
