Planting for the future…

With community support, we’re planting the trees that will restore the canopy in Forest Park.

Thank you! From all of us at Forest Park Forever 🌲

Reflecting on a Year of Resilience and Restoration

We accomplished a lot this year. Our teams completed the decades-long effort to connect the Park’s waterways. Crews broke ground on two community-driven projects—one to reimagine the Glade and Steinberg Rink, the other to renovate the Boathouse. The May 16 tornado reminded us how quickly the things we love can change, but we have so much to look forward to in 2026.

Next year marks 150 years since the dedication of Forest Park and our 40th anniversary. We will also plant 1,000 trees or more. So, we end 2025 with reflection and gratitude.

Trees purned now are for you to enjoy now. New trees planted are for your children to enjoy in their lifetime. For me, this gift is for my grandchildren to enjoy n their lifetime. " Robert Meyer (Supporting tornado recovery) — A Forest Park Forever land management expert is pruning a young tree.

Forever a Place for All of Us

Restoring, maintaining and sustaining Forest Park is what we do. Tornado recovery is now part of our annual plans and we’ve made significant progress cleaning up After the Storm. Our experts are integrating tornado recovery into the long-term master plan for Forest Park.

There’s still so much work to be done! Thanks to generous supporters like Robert Meyer who sustain Forest Park as a place for all of us, forever.

Imagine the Glade

Forest Park Forever and the City of St. Louis are proud to partner on the Glade. This community-driven project will transform Steinberg and its surrounding 22.5 acres for activity all year.

The Glade was not impacted on May 16. As tornado recovery and construction continue, our experts are working with local furniture maker Mwanzi Co. to repurpose felled trees into tables and other furniture in the Glade.
