Arboretum Immediate Needs List

Ongoing Projects at the Arboretum

The Cedar Valley Arboretum is a non-profit organization that is not publicly funded. We rely on admissions, memberships, sponsorships, donations, rentals & events for our total source of revenue to maintain and operate the Arboretum. Because of this, we need community support to continue our mission. We have a variety of multi-effort and multi-season projects that we've been working on to help make the Arboretum more accessible, educational, and easier to maintain. Please consider giving a designated donation for one of the following items, or a partial designated donation would also be greatly appreciated. Your help will keep us growing and serving the community and surrounding areas!

Ongoing or Requested Projects Include:

• Children's Garden Replacement Vinyl Privacy Fencing (to keep the kiddos safely off the surrounding service road) - Estimates Pending
• Professionally Painting the Arboretum Gazebo - $2,728.50
• 8-foot aluminum ladder, garden rakes, various hand tools & weeding totes (funds preferred)
• Installing more hard surface pathways through the gardens and trail systems
• Installing plant and interpretive signage
• Creating accessible materials such as audio tours, braille materials, and bilingual resources
• Documenting the Arboretum's history for generations to come (interviews with founding members, videos showing the growth and changes to the Arboretum)
