Trees for the Holidays and Beyond
updated: Tuesday, January 24, 2012Consider giving a gift of a Tribute Tree to your friend, relative, coworker or anyone you may want to honor. A Tribute Tree, sponsored by the Friends of the Parks and Trails of St. Paul and Ramsey County, is one that you give in honor of someone and it is planted in a St. Louis Park park by City staff.
Trees cost $100.00 each or three tribute trees for $250.00. A hand stamped card announcing your gift will be sent by the Friends to the person you wish to honor. After the trees are planted in the park next summer, the Friends will send the recipient of the gift tree a map showing its location.
Trees may be planted in a park within St. Louis Park or in a park of a variety of cities. Tree species preferred by each community are listed on the Friends web site.
