When you become a Member of The Parklands, you are supporting The Parklands Fund, an annual campaign that allows us to stay open 365 days a year, free of charge. The Parklands Fund helps care for the 79,000+ trees planted since our inception, the management of nearly 2,000 acres of forest, the restoration of seven miles of stream banks – and so much more. Your contribution makes The Parklands possible.
