Our 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.
