What is a

Memorial Tree?

A memorial tree is a meaningful way to honor a loved one while making a real impact on the environment. Each tree is planted as part of a carefully managed reforestation project through the Arbor Day Foundation. Planting a memorial tree strengthens ecosystems, revitalizes natural landscapes, and supports wildlife. By planting a memorial tree, you're ensuring a lasting and impactful tribute.

How Memorial Trees Help Restore Forests

PROVIDE WATER 

More than 50% of U.S. drinking water comes from forests. Trees pull water out from the ground and release it back into the rivers and lakes. 

CLEAN AIR 

Trees have been dubbed the “lungs of the Earth” because they absorb pollutants and filter contaminants in the air. 

CREATE OXYGEN 

One large tree can provide a day’s supply of oxygen for up to 4 people, while 2 ac. of forest provides enough for 500+ people each year. 

IMPROVE SOIL 

Trees break down organic matter then release nutrients back into the soil, which counteracts plants that take these nutrients out of the soil. 

PREVENT DISASTERS 

Tree root systems absorb water and stabilize soil, which help prevent erosion, flooding, and other natural disasters from happening. 

HELP WILDLIFE 

Trees are essential to wildlife and ecosystems. They provide food, protection, and homes for many birds and mammals.
