Experience Rhoneymeade
Rhoneymeade is a place for…
Tranquil Exploration…& Artistic Expression
ChicoryLane, another Penns Valley farm held in a conservation easement similar to Rhoneymeade’s, is having an exciting weekend event next spring, so mark your calendars and see more details here: Symposium Announcement.
Keynote by Doug Tallamy, Ecologist, T. A. Baker Professor of Agriculture in the Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Delaware, where he has authored 115 research publications and has taught insect related courses for 45 years. Chief among his research goals is to better understand the many ways insects interact with plants and how such interactions determine the diversity of animal communities. His books include Bringing Nature Home, The Living Landscape, co-authored with Rick Darke, Nature's Best Hope, a New York Times Best Seller, The Nature of Oaks, winner of the American Horticultural Society’s 2022 book award, and his latest book How Can I Help.
THE CENTURY TREE ADOPTION PROJECT
Adopt a tree planted 100 years ago! Your contribution will aid in care for this tree by a professional arborist.
A plaque bearing the name of the tree, your name or someone you wish to memorialize will be inscribed on an indestructible bronze plaque at the base of the tree.
THE ALDO LEOPOLD BENCH PROJECT
Purchase a hand-carved bench made with locally sourced wood bearing your name or the name of someone you may wish to memorialize.
Aldo Leopold, a beloved environmentalist, liked simple but firm structure. The bench will be placed on Rhoneymeade property to be used by all visitors. The plaque is made of weather resistant material and will be secured to the back of the bench.
ADOPT A RHONE HOUSE ROOM PROJECT
Adopting a room in the Rhone house will contribute to appropriate historic restoration from floors to ceiling.
The name of the room along with your name will be inscribed on a beautiful bronze plaque placed outside of the room entrance.
