Tree Donations

Trees are planted twice a year around April and October. MetroParks guarantees all trees for five years, and will replace any trees that die within this timeframe at no cost. All trees are native hardwood species and help MetroParks' land conservation and reforestation efforts. Interested in making a tree donation? Fill out your interest form and you will be contacted about current donation locations.
