THE CENTURY TREE ADOPTION PROJECT
Adopt a tree planted 100 years ago! Your contribution will aid in care for this tree by a professional arborist.
A plaque bearing the name of the tree, your name or someone you wish to memorialize will be inscribed on an indestructible bronze plaque at the base of the tree.
THE ALDO LEOPOLD BENCH PROJECT
Purchase a hand-carved bench made with locally sourced wood bearing your name or the name of someone you may wish to memorialize.
Aldo Leopold, a beloved environmentalist, liked simple but firm structure. The bench will be placed on Rhoneymeade property to be used by all visitors. The plaque is made of weather resistant material and will be secured to the back of the bench.
ADOPT A RHONE HOUSE ROOM PROJECT
Adopting a room in the Rhone house will contribute to appropriate historic restoration from floors to ceiling.
The name of the room along with your name will be inscribed on a beautiful bronze plaque placed outside of the room entrance.
