[CANUFNET] Memorial trees and plaques

[Alice Casselman]

In my only concern with memorial tree -single  planting- is it if they die the people would be upset 
so I suggest a grove of trees  or enhancing a windbreak along the edge so if one goes missing  it's not so noticeable. Especially if children or young people are involved

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.
