Tree and Bench Donation Program
The Fund for Parks and Recreation, the City of Boston's not-for-profit parks endowment, accepts charitable donations to restore and improve Boston's renowned open spaces.
Park Benches
People may donate new or existing park benches. Sometimes locations in existing parks are available for new bench donations where no bench currently exists. Whether existing or new, a donor recognition plaque will be installed on the bench or at the base of the bench.
Park Trees
The City Arborist will need to approve the location for new trees. A donor recognition plaque will be installed at the base of the tree when the tree is planted.
Tree Care
Donations for tree care will be used for ongoing planting, watering, and maintenance of Boston's trees.
