Some folks have asked the Alliance if they could give a memorial gift that would be placed at the Loon Lake Preserve. Some Memorial benches and trees have already been donated. If you visit the Preserve, you will see these gifts labeled with a plaque designating the person or family that is recognized by the memorial.

We have done some research on donation of trees. Our research is not complete, but it looks like a memorial tree donation would cost in the range of $225 to $500. This cost includes some long term maintenance and a plaque with an inscription designated by the donor.

Benches and chairs are always welcome memorials:

A bench could be donated for $900. This amount includes a plaque, delivery and some long term maintenance.

A chair could be donated for $580. Again, this amount includes a plaque, delivery and some long term maintenance.

Someone suggested that since some folks walk their dogs at the Preserve that installing one or more doggy “poop” stations might make sense.

If someone wanted to donate one of these (maybe not as a memorial), a high-end station could be donated for $660. This amount does take account that there would be an ongoing cost to replenish the “poop” bags. (photo below)

A mid-range station could be donated for $480. (photo below)

If you would like to donate something to the Preserve, contact Bob Reynolds at 585-213-4226 or at rerhere@hotmail.com and we’ll work out the details.
