Memorial Tree Program
Sponsor a Tree, Mark a Memory, Limited Release.
Cost: $1,000 per tree
By sponsoring a memorial tree, you are paying tribute to a special loved one or event. Your tree will serve as a living legacy and enhance the natural beauty of our Conservation Areas for decades to come. Planting a tree provides many positive ecological benefits like increasing forest cover, filtering water, improving soil and wildlife habitat. Your gift will help mitigate the effects of climate change, one beautiful tree at a time.
Memorial Trees are now available at Scanlon Creek Conservation Area. Where feasible, memorial trees will be placed near our memorial benches to provide extra shade.
