Memorial Tree Program

Planting a tree is a beautiful and lasting way to honor a friend or memorialize a loved one. Fill out the attached application (PDF) indicating your preferred location and type of tree and mail with a check or money order to the address provided. You'll not only be giving a perfect gift for a birthday, graduation, wedding, or retirement, but you'll also be giving a gift to your community. Honorees will receive a certificate, and their names will be listed on the interactive mapping application accessible at the bottom of this webpage.

• Applications must be received with enough time for the City Parks and Recreation Department to arrange for tree planting during the planting season (October-March) when all trees will be planted.
• Donation amounts include the cost of replacing trees if necessary within the first 2 years.

Choose a City-owned facility (PDF), such as a city park, as the preferred location for your tree, then indicate your preferred type of tree. While every effort will be made to honor your requested location and type of tree, the City of High Point reserves the right to make the final determination on location and variety.
