Honor Tree Program

The Honor Tree Program enables individuals or groups to donate trees to honor special people, to commemorate important events, and to create living memorials for loved ones. For a tax-deductible donation of $200, the Tree Board will plant an Honor Tree and install a special marker inscribed with the name of the honoree, the donor, the tree species and the date of planting.

Honor Trees may be donated at any time, but planting takes place October to March to ensure survival. The Tree Board will recommend a tree species and a site on Town property. Honor Tree brochures and order forms are available at the Town Hall or may be downloaded here:
