Plant to Remember - Memorial Tree Program
Planting a tree is a beautiful and lasting way to honor a friend or memorialize a loved one. Fill out the attached application indicating your preferred location and type of tree and mail with a check to the address provided. You'll not only be giving a perfect gift for a birthday, graduation, wedding, or retirement, but you'll also be giving a gift to your community. Honorees will receive a certificate, and their names will be listed on our webpage and placed on a plaque for display at a public location.
- Applications are accepted throughout the year but must be received with enough time for the city Parks & Rec. Dept. to arrange for tree planting prior to the fall planting season (Nov.-Feb.) when all trees will be planted.
- Donation amounts include the replacement cost for trees that die within the first 2 years.
- All donations are tax deductible.
