December 20th, 2011 — Tree Lafayette Endowment at the Community Foundation
Tree Lafayette Endowment — Our urban forest will always need help. Urban trees attempt to live in a very hostile environment. Urban trees face cars, salt, dogs, man, bicycles, pests, diseases, oil, severe competition for water, nutrients, and oxygen. We will always raise funds yearly but to replace those trees that succumb to many of these stresses, we created an endowment with the Community Foundation of Greater Lafayette. For every $100 donated, CFGL will donate $25 or 25% of your gift. This gift is tax deductable so give generously. Please make out checks to Community Foundation of Greater Lafayette, 1114 State Street, Lafayette, In. 47905 and in the memo: TreeLafayette Endowment.
Matching gifting can occur until December, 31, 2013

As part of an effort to find new volunteers and encourage them to plant and care for trees across the city, the Lafayette Tree Fund has a new name -- Tree Lafayette. The organization announced the change Wednesday "Earth Day 2009" by planting a red sunset maple in a city parking lot next to Lafayette City Hall. Larry Rose, president of Tree Lafayette, said he hopes his group can inspire residents to plant trees everywhere. See our History for more information. |

Tree Lafayette's members are beefing up their recruiting efforts, too, trying to bring neighborhood associations into the act. The idea: Get neighborhood leaders inspired to spread the good word about trees. Keep and start neighborhoods that are participating: This list will grow.
