Mission

The Mary May Binney Wakefield Arboretum promotes life-long participatory learning using the land and
resources of the historic Davenport Estate (as listed on the National Register) on Brush Hill road in
Milton. Through collaborative partnerships with schools and community organizations, the Mary May
Binney Wakefield Arboretum carries out this mission through providing educational opportunities,
tours, presentations, workshops, hands-on training, internships and other programs covering a variety
of subjects, including local history, ecology, horticulture, agriculture, archival work and historic
preservation.

Through fostering the connections between people, land and history, our aim is to create a living and
accessible landscape that carries on the legacy of Polly Wakefield and her vision for an engaged and
knowledgeable citizenry.
