We extend our heartfelt thanks to the dedicated volunteer crew who came together on Arbor Day to clean up and plant trees and shrubs at Highfield Hall & Gardens. A remarkable group of individuals, businesses and organizations contributed their time and expertise. Their efforts accomplished significant work, including clearing the massive fallen beech tree, removing a large stump, and planting several mature trees and shrubs.

This work is a meaningful reminder of the many volunteers who, over the decades, have cared for, shaped, and sustained the landscape surrounding this property. As we celebrate 20 years of open doors in 2026, we also honor the “out of doors” as an essential part of that milestone.

Our sincere thanks to the businesses and organizations that provided their skill, equipment, and support, helping ensure Highfield Hall remains a safe, beautiful, and welcoming haven for the community.

We are thankful for the efforts, equipment and expertise of the following people, businesses and organizations:
