Forever Our Park: Support tornado recovery

Our nonprofit partners with the City of St. Louis to restore and sustain Forest Park for all of St. Louis. Your gift will help us repair the Park and replant thousands of trees lost in the May tornado.


Forest Park is still our favorite place to play, relax and connect. Today and forever.

Tornadoes devastated the St. Louis region on May 16, 2025. In Forest Park, the west and north ends were most significantly affected, and over 5,000 trees were impacted.

Work and tornado recovery in Forest Park happened immediately and it continues. For the most part, paths and trails are cleared. Repairs will be expensive and replacing a decades-old tree canopy is a multi-year project, at least. Restoration will take years and all of us working together.
