Lake Wilderness Arboretum’s eagerly awaited new website is now live at www.LakeWildernessArboretum.org.

Maple Valley’s Arboretum is one of the few remaining public gardens in south King County. In an effort to position it for the next 50 years as a vibrant destination in the Puget Sound area, the Lake Wilderness Arboretum Foundation worked with New York-based web designer David Milner, who volunteered his time and expertise on its complete redesign.

Milner worked with Foundation President Noel Paterson, Write Janet Muniz and former Executive Director Amy Hardebeck to present a more informative, user-friendly and beautiful digital environment to the public. Volunteer Bob Dunning is also working behind the scenes on the site’s functionality, which is a work in progress.

Milner is well versed in designing websites for nonprofits, having created the first website for the ASPCA, as well as volunteering to help Defenders of Wildlife, Rainforest Alliance and United States Fish and Wildlife Service, among others create or improve their user experience.

The arboretum connected with Milner through Idealist, an organization that brings together people and resources with companies to find practical solutions to social challenges.
