tree by tree
memorials and tributes
Trees transcend time and place as powerful symbols of the cycle of life. Branches that sometimes touch the clouds provide homes for creatures, shade for family picnics, and inspiration to daydream. Strong trunks, limbs and roots offer comforting stability and limitless possibilities: a perfect spot for a birdhouse, a child's swing, a summer nap, or a private space for a quiet moment of reflection.
Trees: A Living Tribute
Planting a tree in a city park or natural area is a wonderful way to honor a loved one or commemorate a special event, and also provide a gift for the whole community. Below are regional contacts for tree memorial and tribute programs that offer tree planting ceremonies, plaques or brick placements, and tree donations or transplant services.
