Roots Revival Gibson Park

The Roots Revival Committee is working with the City Forester and City Parks Manager to secure a variety of trees offering sound barriers, a canopy, drought tolerance, fall color, and distinguishing features like cones, needles and leaf shape to be replanted in Gibson Park.

The committee is asking for full tree costs to get an additional 14 trees planted in Gibson Park. 35 trees were sponsored by citizens and organizations in and around Great Falls in the 2024-2025 winter for a spring planting in Gibson Park.

The additional 14 trees' costs and sizes per tree are below.

Donations can be made two ways :

1. Online, via the Peoples Park and Recreation Foundation at https://www.peoplesparkandrec.com. Click the donation tab, and in the notes for the donation please put in 'Roots Revival Tree Fund.' 

A staff liaison will contact you to determine which tree and where that tree has been determined to be planted in Gibson Park once your donation has been processed online.

2. Stop at the Great Falls Park and Recreation Department with cash or check, and the staff will submit your donation to the foundation. Please make checks payable to the People Park and Recreation Foundation~ note 'Roots Revival Tree Fund.' 

Drop off donations will be able to select their tree/location if available that day.
