context_page_description: The Royal Saxon Academy of Forestry in Tharandt, Saxony, near Dresden, was founded by silviculturalist Heinrich Cotta in 1811. Established in conjunction with the school, and later integrated with it, was the Forstbotanischer Garten Tharandt, one of the oldest arboreta in the world. Its legacy lives on today as a campus of the Dresden University of Technology and site of that institution's Department of Forestry.
context_section_description: Among the oldest aboreta in the world, the Forstbotanischer Garten Tharandt, was established by Cotta in the same year as the Academy. Five years later, in 1816, it was integrated administratively with the College.
  Today it belongs to the Faculty of Environmental Sciences of the Dresden University. It is open to the public from April to October, and the admission is free of charge.
