    FOR IMMEDIATE
    RELEASE:

    Cleveland Metroparks has introduced a new donor opportunity -
    Branching Out - to support reforestation now and in the
    future. 



     



    Through a gift of $1800, donors have the opportunity to have a
    tree planted in a reservation or golf course of their choice and
    support future tree planting through the Emerald Necklace Endowment
    Fund of The Cleveland Foundation.



     



    Trees planted through the Branching Out program will be
    native species that are approximately 8' in height.  Plantings
    will take place in spring and fall.  Specific planting
    locations and tree species will be determined based on natural
    resource plans for the particular reservation and golf course.
    Donors will be notified of the location of the tree planted from
    their contribution.  



     



    In addition to keeping Cleveland Metroparks green, Branching
    Out
    is also a great way to make a living gift to remember a
    loved one, recognize a special event in someone's life or honor a
    friend. All donors and those being honored will receive recognition
    on Cleveland Metroparks website, as well as in the Park District's
    Emerald Necklace monthly publication and the Development
    Division's Gift of Nature annual report.



     



    The Emerald Necklace Endowment Fund was established within The
    Cleveland Foundation to preserve and protect Cleveland Metroparks
    for generations to come.  Fund contributed to the Emerald
    Necklace Endowment Fund remain within the fund and generate annual
    income to benefit all aspects of Cleveland Metroparks.



     



    For more information on Branching Out or other ways to
    support Cleveland Metroparks, contact Karen Kannenberg, CFRE,
    manager of gift and donor development, at 216-635-3217 or "rect" target="_blank" href=
