California Memorial Trees

Plant a Tree in Memory in California

Trees carry stories of resilience, growth, and memory. When we plant a tree in memory of someone special, we create a powerful connection between remembrance and renewal.

Our memorial tree planting program offers a meaningful way to honor loved ones while supporting the restoration of California's national forests.

Plant Trees in Memory: Transforming Grief into Forest Restoration

Every memorial tree becomes a symbol of enduring love and hope.

By choosing to plant a tree in memory, you're not just creating a tribute—you're actively participating in forest restoration. These trees stand as living monuments, growing stronger with each passing year, much like the memories of those we cherish.

Plant a Tree in California: Healing Landscapes and Hearts

California's landscapes have weathered significant challenges, especially devastating wildfires in both rural and urban areas.

Our tree planting service focuses on National Forest areas that need regeneration. When you plant a memorial tree with us, you're helping to rebuild ecosystems and create new life in areas that have experienced significant loss.

Frequently Asked Questions

We work with the U.S. Forest Service to choose the areas most in need of our trees. Our current planting location is Sequoia National Forest.

Our mission here at Trees for a Change is to provide thoughtful, meaningful gifts that live on to restore fire devastated forest lands. It would be nice if we could offer more choice in planting areas, but our priority is planting trees where they are needed most.

We hope you agree that when it comes to giving a gift that is about LIFE, a gift that truly honors someone, putting the trees where that life will make the biggest difference is the best thing we could possibly do.

We estimate about how many trees we'll need to plant for each calendar year, then the trees are planted that year in the early summer (this is the best time for survival.) We move our planting project to a new location once we've dedicated all the trees we planted that year. We do things this way so folks who receive tree gifts in the last half of the year don't have to wait all the way until the following summer to find out about their trees. Rest assured, each and every tree gift given through Trees for a Change has a baby tree or trees accounted for in the designated planting location.

The card that accompanies the tree gift has information printed on the inside left. This info explains the gift and directs the recipient to the "Find Trees" feature on the website.

Visit our Find Trees page in the top menu bar and you can search for trees by NAME or DATE.

We'll automatically send you occasional tree update emails in coming years. If you don't want them, you can unsubscribe anytime.
