Memorial trees:
A gift that lasts for several lifetimes
Memorial Tree Program
Planting a tree in a city park is a wonderful way to honor a loved one and also provides a gift to the whole community. Trees are planted in public parks so everyone can enjoy the shade, beauty and enjoyment a living tree provides.
_A_memorial_tree_can_be_planted_for_many_occasions:_in_memory_of_someone_who has passed away; in honor of a dedicated service member; to celebrate a birthday, graduation, wedding, retirement, or other occasion. Many offices give trees instead of flowers for funerals or as memorials. Planting a memorial tree is a remembrance of the past and at the same time a renewing of life. Planting a tree in a city park is a unique way to say “I love you,” a great way to solve gift-giving problems and is a wonderful tribute to a loved one or friend. It’s a gift that can last through several lifetimes; a gift that keeps on giving.
To participate in the Memorial Tree Program, fill out the attached application card_and_drop_it_in_the_mail.
A certificate suitable for framing can be sent to the honoree. The Forestry Division will plant memorial trees in both spring and fall, depending on the weather and_availability_of_species._
