Change is constant, even in a historic cemetery.
HELP PRESERVE THE WOODLANDS
We invite you to be a part of keeping this site free and accessible by helping us reach our $50,000 end-of-year fundraising goal. All the funds raised through this campaign support the management of The Woodlands. Support the space you love by making a gift today.
BE A PART OF THE WOODLANDS
Open daily from dawn to dusk for the enjoyment of the public, The Woodlands offers a 54-acre open green space and tranquil setting in the heart of University City. We have a small staff and limited resources, and we work hard to ensure that our site remains free and accessible.
The preservation and care of The Woodlands, and the funding for various programs, are made possible through the generous support of friends and donors. We invite you to be a part of this important work. Your contribution to The Woodlands helps to support all of our operations including maintenance of the landscapes, cemetery, and historic buildings, educational programs, genealogical services, architectural restoration and monument conservation, and community engagement.
If you would like to mail your contribution, please download and include this form. Are you interested in making a recurring donation? Thank you! Please select “Yearly” in the “Donation Schedule” when checking out, or “Make this a monthly donation” when checking out via PayPal.
The Woodlands is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. Your contribution is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. No goods or services will be provided in exchange for your generous financial donation.

SUPPORT THE GRAVE GARDENERS
The Woodlands provides 135+ volunteer Grave Gardeners with plant materials in the form of seedlings, bulbs, and seeds. Gardeners adopt a cradle grave, plant Victorian-era plants, and care for their garden throughout the growing season. Interested in donating directly to the Grave Gardeners?
DONATE TO THE WOODLANDS TREE FUND
Since 2001 we've lost 185 trees to storms, disease and insect damage and another 80 are in danger. Since 2001 we've planted 170 trees, including 15 just this year. If you'd like to contribute to The Woodlands Tree Fund to help with tree replanting efforts, you can do so below.
