Bernheim Arboretum and Research Forest Corporate Partnerships

Position your brand with a leader in ecological stewardship as a Bernheim Corporate Partner. Your organization will gain valuable exposure while connecting with our 270,000 annual visitors as they connect with nature.

Bernheim Forest’s commitment to connecting people with nature extends beyond our 15,625 acres and into the region and state through diverse community engagement efforts.

Partnering with Bernheim Forest shows your customers, peers, and the community that your organization values land conservation, nature-based education, and arts in nature.

Ways to Connect with Bernheim

Events

Bernheim Forest hosts four main events every year. Grow your brand exposure by sponsoring one of these exciting events!

  • BloomFest, in conjunction with the Spring Plant Sale, every May
  • CONNECT, our only evening event, takes place every August
  • BugFest, in conjunction with the Fall Plant Sale, each September
  • ColorFest, our longest-running two day event, each October

Arts in Nature

Engage with our visitors in a unique way as an Arts in Nature sponsor. Associate your organization with a program that encourages discovery, creativity, and nature to be its guides.

Demonstrate your commitment to art in nature by sponsoring a permanent installation or sponsoring artists in our internationally recognized Artist In Residence program.

In-kind Support

We are grateful for products and services donated to our programs, events, and overall daily operation. In-kind support, such as advertising, food, beverages, printing, and promotional items, provides relief as we work to achieve our mission of connecting people with nature. In-kind gifts are recognized at 100% fair market value.

Every gift matters and every dollar counts.

Nature-based Education

Our nature-based education programs reach a diverse population from active seniors to families to millennials and everyone in between.

Bernheim’s award-winning nature-based education programs range from our monthly Pollywog Play Parties (families with children ages five and under) to bi-monthly ECO Kids Discovery days to our popular night programs and our interactive lunch and learns.

Children At Play Network

With a team of environmental education and play experts, Bernheim’s Children at Play Network facilitates the creation of outdoor play environments so that all children have the chance to explore their natural world.

Sponsor free play days, teacher trainings, and family trainings.

Thank you to our current Corporate Partners!
