With City money earmarked for Prospect Park falling short of funding the work that needs to be done %u2014 pruning, replantng, feeding the greenery of the park %u2014 the Tree Trust relies on residents of the borough to turn out in support of their park.%u201cThe theory is that we%u2019re trying to get a large number of relatively small donations,%u201d Ray Wiggers of Prospect Park explains. %u201cFirst, we need the money, but also we are trying to get the public as involved as possible in the reconstruction of the park rather than approach large donators,%u201d he says.The program began in 1982 and since that time has raised roughly $95,000 for the park with the main direct mail campaign requesting donations conducted in the fall.%u201cWe realized then that there were grand old trees that no one was taking care of because the City money did not cover the costs. We can now give them special attention,%u201d Wiggers points out. %u201cThere are also areas of the park where trees have died of neglect or old age and need to be replanted.%u201dThe success of the program can be gauged both in terms of the work the Park horticulturists have been able to accomplish with the added funds, but also Wiggers says, public response has been very positive.%u201cThey love it,%u201d he says of people who have responded to the campaign. %u201cA lot of people send in notes with their donations. Even if they are only sending in $10, there is a sense of ownership, that they are participating in the park,%u201d he explains.In practical terms, the money is used for a diversity of projects. Money has been used to purchase tools for the horticulture crew and nearly 130 trees dated from the turn of the century and earlier have received additional care through the Tree Trust. Where original trees have disappeared and died away, the park has replaced them with a variety of trees from oaks and maples to dogwoods and mountain laurels. And the work has not been restricted to only trees; in past years thousands of smaller plants have been added to eroding hillsides and to ornament woodlands and formal settings.%u201cIt%u2019s not just trees, the Tree Trust covers but flowers and shrubbery, general enhancements to the park,%u201d says Wiggers.There are three special donation categories within the Tree Trust. For a minimum amount of $150, the Memorial Tree PlantingProspect Park Administrator TupperThomas demonstrates her affection for thepark's trees that get extra attention throughthe park%u2019s Tree Trust. (Phoenix/KochPhoto).program allows donations for the planting of a memorial tree. The donation varies with the type of tree selected.%u201cIf someone in your family has passed away you can have a memorial tree planted,%u201d Wiggers explains. Since the program was started, roughly 30 memorial trees have been planted and although no tag is attached to the tree, park administrators plan that in the future a plaque will be hung in the Boat House listing the trees and their locations.Donations can also be made on behalf of a friend and cards will be sent out announcing Gift of Green donations of $25 or more.This year a new offer has been extended for donators of $1,000 or more. Donators will receive a limited edition color portrait of the Park%u2019s fall foliage taken by photographer Phyllis Wrynn.According to Wiggers, initial response to the mailing has been better this year than any other year. Last year the park raised $12,000 through the drive.For more information on the Tree Trust call 965-8949.KNOCKED DOWN: A 68-year-old man was knocked down and robbed by two men at the Court St. subway station on Nov. 11 at 11:15pm.
