Membership

Plantations’ members are important partners in our efforts to increase knowledge of and appreciation for the interdependence of people, plants, and the natural world.  Because only 16% of our annual budget is provided by Cornell, support from members and donors impacts almost every aspect of our operations. Your annual membership gift provides vital funding that enables us to purchase new plants for our living collections, create new educational programs for children and adults, and preserve irreplaceable natural areas. To enroll by mail or fax, download this membership form.
