A special opportunity is offered by TREES to memorialize or honor a friend, loved one, or special occasion while helping to beautify Terre Haute and Vigo County community parks.
A memorial or commemorative tree provides a lasting tribute to remember a special person or special occasion. A tree is a living gift which will add beauty to a community park and offer shelter, comfort, and pleasure for years to come.
Written notification of your gift will be sent from TREES to the individual or to the family of the person being remembered or honored.
A Gift in Honor

A Gift in Celebration
Plant a commemorative tree to celebrate a birthday, an anniversary, a wedding, the birth of a child, or other important event.
A Gift in Memory
Plant a memorial tree as a living tribute to someone who has been special to you, your family, your friends.
