Memorial Trees

Residents can also purchase a Memorial tree (once each year with the spring tree sale) for a loved one, special event or for any other reason. Memorial trees are only planted in city parks and the city will try to accommodate the location, however if it isn’t an ideal location the tree will be planted as close to that location as possible.  A wooden block will be provided (flush to the ground) for a plaque that the resident must purchase. DPS crew will install the plaque.

Residents are responsible for watering memorial trees.
