The gift of a tree is a lasting tribute and will benefit the community, off-set carbon footprints and be appreciated by visitors for decades to come.
In the event that the tree should die, become diseased or vandalized, the Memorialized Tree will be replaced by the Township, at no charge to the applicant, within three years of the original planting date.
