Be a Tree Champion for Hagley 🌳
This giving day, give to the living heart of Hagley Museum and Library. As part of our Natural Hagley Initiative, we are focusing in 2026 on improving tree health by protecting and strengthening the canopy that defines our 235-acre historic landscape, supports diverse wildlife, and welcomes visitors year-round.
Climate change is profoundly impacting our trees through stronger storms, shifting temperatures, diseases, invasive pests, and prolonged stress on soil and roots. Proactive care now is essential. With your help, Hagley’s trees, including our historic orchard, will remain resilient, productive, and beautiful for generations to come.
Our goal is to match another $10,000 to support critical, on-the-ground work such as:
- Expert arborist evaluations and long-term canopy planning
- Soil health improvements and root-zone care
- Early detection and treatment of pests and disease
- Climate-resilient pruning and storm-risk mitigation
- Care, replacement, and protection of orchard trees and young saplings
The Challenge: A generous Tree Champion has offered a seed gift of $10,000 to kick off this project. Help us match this with another $10,000 to double our impact and accelerate this vital work.
Hagley’s trees, whether State Champions or fruit-bearing orchard cultivars—are witnesses to history and partners in our future. Be a Tree Champion with a gift to the Hagley Fund to help us weather a changing climate and continue to grow strong, rooted in history and ready for what’s ahead.
