Tree and Shrub Sponsorship

Help Us Support Our Land Restoration Efforts By Sponsoring A Tree/Shrub

Our staff and volunteers have been busy removing invasive buckthorn and Eurasian bittersweet from our oak savanna and observation blind areas. Now that the sites are prepared, we are ready to restore them by planting native trees and shrubs, but we need your help. Please support our land restoration efforts by sponsoring a tree and/or shrub that will provide habitat for birds, pollinators, and other wildlife. Your purchase, of the trees we've selected, will help our restoration projects. Donors can choose which species they would like to sponsor and can even help plant their tree/shrub at our September planting event. We are planning to have our 2025 Planting day on September 27.

Stay tuned for when we have the trees and shrubs available for purchase. For information for the 2025 Sponsorship soon to follow.

Thank you to everyone who sponsored trees and shrubs!
