Olmsted Tree Sponsorship

Thank you for your interest in supporting the Tree Sponsorship Program. The objective of the Olmsted Tree Society is to protect and regenerate the trees, tree canopy and parkway trees of the Emerald Necklace park system, and to educate citizens about their care and value to the urban landscape. This program offers many levels of support from sponsoring an existing Heritage tree to planting a new tree to the maintenance of trees.

To join the Society and help care for trees, make your online donation below or call the Development Office at 617-522-2700. Donors can double the terms of sponsorship by doubling the contribution. At the end of the sponsorship period the donor has the opportunity to renew at the then current contribution level. Commemorative Plaques: Contributions of $5000 or above include a tree plaque, if desired. It will have the Botanical and common name of the tree, donor personalized inscription and year of donation.
