Woodlands Restoration Sapling: $75 Each spring and fall, small saplings are planted in the park as part of our Woodlands Restoration Program, which seeks to preserve Brooklyn’s last remaining forest.

Adopt a Heritage Tree: $10,000 There are a handful of special, majestic trees in the park referred to as Heritage Trees. Many of them date back to the early years of Prospect Park, over 150 years ago, and at times even earlier. Your gift ensures the ongoing care of these one-of-a-kind trees.
