A Lasting Legacy
Memorial and honorary gifts provide
Bernheim with resources such as hands-on learning tools, exhibits for
mobile labs, and trees, shrubs and benches that enhance the arboretum.
Your gift will strengthen and improve facilities and programs while honoring
or memorializing a loved one or colleague.
Why should I Give a Memorial
or Honorary Gift?
Memorial and honorary gifts provide meaningful, living,
long-term tributes to friends, relatives, or colleagues. Your gift also
helps Bernheim continue its work to connect people and nature.
Memorial
Benches
A memorial bench may be purchased for $1,500. All benches are provided
by Bernheim, and we will share placement options with you upon request.
A plaque may be attached to the bench with up to 6 lines of text, approximately
40 words.
Bernheim uses benches made from long-lasting teak wood, and your memorial
will last for the lifetime of the bench.
Memorial Trees
A memorial tree may be purchased for $900 and chosen from a selection
of existing trees. You will receive a map showing the exact location
of your tree in the arboretum. Directions to memorial trees are maintained
at the Visitor Center information desk.
Your memorial will last for the lifetime of the tree.
