How to Help the Arboretum

We welcome contributions of any amount. All contributions are tax-deductible. You can complete the online form at , and specify "arboretum" in the "Other Designations" area. Alternatively you can send a check payable to The Geneseo Foundation to:

Geneseo Foundation

1 College Circle
Geneseo, NY 14454
(specify it is for the arboretum)

Where We're Going

We would like to expand our sponsored support for student research and educational activities as well as public walks in the arboretum. We also need to develop and produce arboretum publications such as a new edition and printing of our pamphlet and brochures. Your contributions will help make these efforts a reality.

In addition, we would like to provide community and regional lectures on native and horticultural topics, and host workshops. Lectures could be held as one-time events, or your gift could endow an annual lecture series under your name.

Contributions can also help support ongoing improvement of the managed part of the arboretum through additional plantings of wildflowers and shrubs and landscaping elements.
