The Tree Fund Endowment Campaign 

“Contributing to the Mark S. McClure Research Fund is contributing to the development of a young creative mind, and to important scientific discovery. It is beneficial to the profession, and it is a wise investment in the future of tree care.

The Connecticut Tree Protective Association (CTPA) has chosen to honor their long-time leader Dr. Mark McClure by establishing a fund in his name to support the TREE Fund’s Research Fellowship. Through this fund, he will be remembered by the CTPA and others for his generosity, commitment and strength of vision in support of tree care research and education. The TREE Fund Research Fellowship, supported by this fund, will enable candidates who are pursuing an advanced degree to conduct a major arboricultural research project under the supervision of an experienced mentor.
