NORSKEDALEN

Norskedalen, which means the Norwegian Valley, began in 1977 as an outdoor laboratory and arboretum when Dr. Alf Gundersen and his wife Carroll donated the 112 acre Gundersen farm to the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse Foundation. They established an arboretum in memory of Alf's mother, Helga Isaksaetre Gundersen.
