The Addison Arbor Foundation is a charitable organization created for the purpose of raising funds for public
landscape beautification projects. The Addison Arbor Foundation continues to emphasize the long-term value that
trees and landscape provide for the well-being of our community. The Foundation endeavors to pursue the "urban forest"
concept of increasing the number of trees planted in our community through coordinated urban beautification projects.
Over the years, both private and public funds have been raised by the Foundation for the purpose of supplementing
community landscape projects throughout the Town. The Addison Arbor Foundation recognizes and acknowledges significant
contributors through their "Giving Tree" located in the Addison Conference & Theatre Centre, 15650 Addison Rd.,
adjacent to Addison Circle Park. Read more here.
