Tree Memorial Program

Honoring a person or group with the dedication of a tree is a unique way to celebrate their life and achievements. Through the Memorial Tree program, our parks team will work with you to find an appropriate location for a tree that can mark a lasting legacy for your special pet, person, or group.

• Fee: $800
• Trees generally are in the 2” to 3” caliper range, typically native or cultivars of species native to northern Illinois. 
• A 4” x 6” bronze plaque with up to 4 lines of text, mounted in concrete and set near the base of the tree, is included. Lines of text hold up to 15 characters (spaces count as characters).
• Planting occurs in spring or fall. 
• The exact location is at the discretion of the Dundee Township Park District.
• District staff will establish and maintain the tree for its life. Trees are guaranteed for 10 years and will be replaced: 
  • Should they become inviable through disease or storm damage 
  • Future park renovations take place that affects the tree 
    Reasonable efforts to contact the initial requestor will be made in advance of any relocation/replacement efforts. 

Placement of items such as flowers, candles, decorations, or other tributes is not allowed and will be removed during routine park maintenance.
