Adopt-a-Tree / Memorial Tree Program

This program was established in 1984 to identify and assess the condition of variety of native Maryland trees, which had suffered from years of neglect. To cover the cost of bringing back and maintaining the health of these trees, this program was established. Later the program was expanded to include the planting of new trees. Today there are 45 parents who have adopted 75 trees.

On April 6, 2003 a directory of the trees with its list of donors and their dedications was formally dedicated on the grounds of the park. Identifying tree markers were also dedicated. The directory is located under the largest tulip poplar near the ruins, which was adopted by the Friends. Visitors to the park who want to see the trees can consult the directory or be guided by a brochure

The second phase of this program will get under way during the next year. For more information, contact the park.
