Thank you, Toledo. We did it!
The campaign to raise $1.5 million to privately fund the nation's largest public treehouse village has surpassed its fundraising goal thanks to the generosity of our community.
Individual donations during the Days of Giving campaign pushed the total over the top. Funds raised beyond the original goal will allow for additional features to be added to the Cannaley Treehouse Village. Closing sponsors were Yark Subaru, Buckeye Broadband and ThermaTru.
Retailers throughout the region participated in the campaign, including a check-out round up program that continues through today at the two Walt Churchill's Markets. Balance Pan Asian Grille, SIP Coffee, Earnest Brew Works, Toledo Spirits and Cycle Werks were all retail partners.
Thank you to the Metroparks Toledo Foundation for its leadership, and congratulations on the success of its first campaign. Special thanks also to the members of the treehouse committee: Linda Cannaley, honorary chair; Carrie Alexander, Chair; Ben Batey, Sue Hague-Rogers, Molly Luetke, Leslie Schubargo, Sharon Simmons and
Matt Yarder.
The Cannaley Treehose Village will open in May at Oak Openings Preserve.
Expected Results
A One-of-a-Kind Experience in Nature
The goal of the Treehouse Village is to provide a new exciting way for people to connect with nature. We believe the Village will be the only treehouse site in a public park system that is available for overnight stay, creating an experience that is entirely unique.
Local Economic Growth
When paired with the 11-mile single track mountain bike trail, the new 500-acre section of Oak Openings will become a true destination for local and out-of-town visitors. In the first year, the mountain bike trail has attracted over 100,000 visitors. The addition of the treehouse will create new opportunities for business and economic development in the surrounding area.
The project is the next important step in the Metroparks vision to become the premier park system in the nation and a centerpiece of our region’s identity.
Thank you for taking the Metroparks to new heights
