The site is now called the Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden and is currently (2011) open daily during business hours for visitors, at a fee. Cornell was a member of the Southern California Horticultural Institute, which created the Arboretum, and was on the board for several years and acted as chairman of the board for a number of years.
