You may have noticed that staff at 𝐄𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐨𝐭𝐭 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐤 planting some new trees around the park lately… 🌳🌲

Part of what makes 𝐄𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐨𝐭𝐭 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐤 so beautiful is the abundance of large trees found throughout the grounds. Every year, trees die naturally due to disease, wind damage, pests and so on. 💨

The 𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐄𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐨𝐭𝐭 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐤 have been donating $2,000 annually to the park for the purchase of new trees to replace the trees that come down every year. 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐛𝐲 𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐬 𝐬𝐨 𝐰𝐞 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞!🙏🏼

This past month, staff also planted two Remembrance Trees. This program, organized through 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐄𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐨𝐭𝐭 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐤, is a unique way to honor a loved one, friend, or coworker. Remembrance Trees can be purchased at: friendsofendicottpark.org/remembrancetree.

Holten Richmond Middle School 7th grader Callie Joyce has been recognized by the Friends of Endicott Park Board for her outstanding fundraising efforts in support of the park’s animals. Through her initiative, Callie collects cans and bottles and donates all proceeds to benefit the animals at Endicott Park. So far, she has raised over $1,300—and she’s still going strong.

If you’d like to support Callie’s efforts, you can drop off cans and bottles at 5 Norwich Road in Danvers. Thank you, Callie, for your dedication and generosity!

This post was on the Endicott Park page and we loved it so much, we wanted to share it!!

Though no longer with us, Greta’s legacy continues to shape Endicott Park through the generosity and love of those whose lives she touched.🥰

Before coming to Endicott Park, Greta was Alice Day Tonry’s beloved horse, carrying her young rider safely through woods and fields, Pony Club events, and eventing competitions. She attended the University of Vermont with Alice, reigning for four years as the “queen” of the UVM horse barn. Just as Alice began her post-college life, a stall opened at Endicott Park and Greta found her home for the next ten years. The second photo is a photo of Alice and Greta from last fall 🙏❤️.

In her memory, the Day-Tonry family of West Newbury have offered a matching-grant gift of $1,000 to The Friends of Endicott Park. It is their hope that this donation might encourage individuals and families who enjoy the Children’s Barn to reciprocate by supporting the Friends of Endicott Park through their ongoing brick fundraiser.

Funds generated will be used to support the Friends’ efforts throughout the park, including their current project underway: replacement of the front and rear doors to the Carriage House. This is a great way to see your donation matched and memorialized on a brick in the Children’s Barn entryway! Next time you visit the Children’s Barn, look for the brick donated by the Day-Tonry family in 2018 that reads, “With love from Greta.”
