Legacy Tree Project
Plant a tree that can last for centuries. The Legacy Tree Project allows individuals or organizations to create a living legacy by purchasing a legacy tree to be planted in remembrance of an individual or to commemorate a special event. Legacy trees are trees that have the ability to last for many decades, even centuries. By dedicating and planting a legacy tree on campus, people may contribute to the growth of the Arboretum, Round Top Park, the Steffen Center Campus Forest, and future botanical gardens.
Support a Botanical Garden
The WSU Native Plant & Landscape Restoration Nursery is currently developing the Camas Garden project. This garden, emphasizing native plants, and especially, lilies of the Pacific Northwest, is in need of additional contributions to create garden plots, paths, benches, and markers to display plants for public education and enjoyment. Individuals who are interested in making a lasting contribution to the future that will be enjoyed by many people each year may contribute donations of any amount to help establish this botanical garden.
Additional theme-based botanical gardens may be sponsored by contributions to the Native Plant Nursery. Among the many theme-based gardens that could be developed for research and future public enjoyment are:
