The Memorial Tree Campaign offers a heartfelt way to honor a loved one, commemorate a special occasion, or contribute to your community’s natural beauty. By dedicating a tree, you create a living tribute that symbolizes growth, remembrance, and connection, complete with a personalized QR Plaque linking to your own Digital Story.

Why Participate?

• Celebrate Life and Legacy: Dedicate a tree that stands as a lasting symbol of your personal story or a loved one’s memory.
• Share Your Story: Each tree includes a QR Plaque that links to a Digital Story, allowing you to share photos, captions, and memories that can be cherished for generations.
• Enhance Community Green Spaces: Your contribution helps to beautify public areas, creating a greener, more welcoming environment for all.

How to Participate -

• Select a Tree: View our map of Available tree listings to see where you can leave a lasting legacy in our community. These locations have all been identified by our city and are best planting spots. If you’d like to propose a location that you don’t see, please click ‘Propose’ on our Community Profile to identify on the map where you’d like to dedicate a tree.
• Submit Payment: On your identified Available tree, click ‘Participate Now’ to check out and pay online. You will receive an email with a letter acknowledging your tax-deductible contribution. If you wish to pay by check, please drop off your check at city hall.
• Customize your Plaque and Digital Story: After your contribution is processed, you will receive an email inviting you to join SeeMyLegacy so that you can input your custom plaque message to be printed and so that you can begin telling your Digital Story.

Our Guidelines -

• Installation: Once payment has been received, the city will plant the tree and assume responsibility for installing and maintaining it at the chosen site, which will be planted during suitable weather conditions and when city personnel are available.
• Generic Public Use: Donor shall acquire no right, title, or interest in the tree and plaque beyond that expressly identified. Donor acknowledges and understands that the tree and its area will be open and available for general public use in a manner consistent with city policy and practices.
• Content Moderation: The city reserves the right to reject any proposed plaque message or moderate a digital story containing language that is obscene, lewd, defamatory, infringes upon the proprietary rights of any third party, is factually inaccurate, or is otherwise inappropriate.
• Maintenance: The city has the option, but not the responsibility, to maintain the tree and its surrounding area for a 10-year period. In the case of vandalism, theft, or damage, the city can choose to replace the tree or plaque.
