Adopt a Bench at Wye Marsh

Adopting a Bench is a wonderful way to honour the memory of a loved one, commemorate a milestone, or celebrate one of life’s milestones.

Choose from a variety of locations, all of which are located in a beautiful natural setting. Bench Adoptions include a 3” x 6” plaque with a personalized dedication. You will be asked to provide the dedication at the time of payment, and each dedication is allotted 85 character spaces including any dates.

Adoption terms are in 3 year increments and each increment is $350.00. Wye Marsh will send you an option to renew prior to the end of the term. All adoptions are eligible for a tax receipt.

Money raised through the Adopt-A-Bench program supports the Wye Marsh general fund. A portion of the funds will be used for the maintenance of the benches, and the remainder of the funds will be used for everything from educational programs to stewardship initiatives.

-The Gift of Environmental Stewardship -

Adoptions are a thoughtful and meaningful gift for a friend, loved one, or colleague who shares your passion for nature.

Whether a gift, a tribute, or in memory, adopting a part of Wye Marsh helps it in its mission to continue to be a centre of excellence for wetlands research, interpretation and education based on the principle of stewardship and the importance of environmental awareness.
