Greetings from the President:
It has been more than a decade since the Tree partners Foundation was established. In 2015, we have become well established and are recognized as a leader in the area of urban Forestry.
One of the strongest partnerships is developing with Merced Community College. Our Executive Director is also the Professor of Horticulture at the college and he has been instrumental in steering the college in the direction of establishing a ten acre Botanical garden. Tree Partners Foundation and Rotary made possible an architectural drawing of the future gardens. Several meetings were coordinated with members of the community. Also, countless meetings with the carious divisions at the college were held. This collaborative effort was helpful in attaining the Community College Board of Trustees to recommend an addendum to the Facilities Master Plan to designate ten acres.
The Gardens will reflect many of the cultures within the Central Valley. The Gardens will also have sensory and meditative gardens and a learning center for children.
Please visit our site often to keep updated on our many activities. You can sign up to receive our blog and also you will find a tab at the top of the page "Botanical Garden"
