Plant a Tree in Memory as a Lasting Tribute

If you’re struggling to find unique, thoughtful and lasting memorial gift ideas amongst all the sympathy flowers and cheesy trinkets, we’re so glad you’re here.

Few tributes are as meaningful and long lasting as planting trees in our nation's forests. Our customers often describe our memorial tree planting as a wonderful service that brings comfort and hope during difficult times.

When someone passes, here’s what usually happens: Their loved ones are inundated with funeral flowers that can brighten up a home for a short period of time but die days later and are then put in the trash.

Not exactly uplifting, is it? That’s why we offer Memorial Trees, a living tribute to honor the departed for generations. These tree gifts stand out, serving as a living tree memorial that has deep meaning for the family and friends who receive them.

Our National Forests Need Restoration

There are over 1 million acres of our National Forests currently in desperate need of restoration, according to the Forest Service.

Our nation's forests have been devastated by wildfires, drought, disease and other natural disasters-- taking a huge toll on wildlife habitat and precious ecosystems. This is happening all over the U.S., but especially in the Pacific Northwest.

Dedicating memorial trees is not only a beautiful way to remember someone, it's also a beautiful way to help nature transform these areas into healthy forests for future generations.

When you Plant Memorial Trees, you Make an Impact

Plant a tree in memory of someone who has passed through us, and  the tree will go to where it is needed most. Our trees are always native species trees and they are planted in National Forests desperate for restoration.  By supporting our reforestation efforts, your gift will make a lasting difference in the world by helping to restore areas of woodlands that have been destroyed by wildfire.

When you plant trees as a memorial, the recipient of the gift will be able to see photographs of the saplings, planting location maps, and periodic growth updates online. They can even go visit the location if they wish. The trees help comfort grieving loved ones by giving them life and growth and hope to focus on.

Is Memorial Tree Planting Legit?

We can't speak for other services, but we are the real deal.

YES, we are ACTUALLY planting trees.

We know that when you dedicate memorial trees with Trees for a Change, you are placing your trust in us, and we take that very seriously. So, we show you real photos of the saplings and maps of the actual restoration locations. We'll also send you an email with updated photos when we revisit the planting site in the future.

For us it's all about the trees and the relationships we've built with our customers. Knowing that together we can make positive changes for people and the planet while offering a meaningful gift is the reason we are in business.
