<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Here in Cambridge we have a memorial/dedication tree program. We do many dedication trees with plaques; a few people elect to have a tree without a plaque. I’ve attached a sample 8”x10” brass plaque that we
mount in concrete flush with the ground near the base of the tree. A 50mm cal tree and a plaque is $797. We allow them in parks, cemeteries, and along trails, at locations agreed between staff and the family. We also have a dedication bench program that
is popular; a bench with a small plaque is $1718.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m interested in hearing from others who have a memorial/donated tree program with plaques.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In Kelowna, we allow citizens to donate trees for planting in parks, but we don’t allow them to have a plaque except at the Cemetery. There’s a few reasons for this, such as maintenance concerns and vandalism. We had a bad experience 15
years ago where some trees with plaques seemed to be a magnet for vandalism, so we stopped offering this.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Do you have a tree donation program? Do you allow plaques next to donated trees? How much to do charge?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">thanks<o:p></o:p></p>
