The Krumme Arboretum receives no taxpayer dollars, and as it enters its 20th year, a campaign is underway to raise funds to support the park. Arboretum Curator Gerald Hopp says letters have been sent to previous donors. He explains how one can help support the arboretum financially. (play audio :33)
