Tree Tributes

Tree Corps donations can be made to recognize someone special, celebrate an occasion, or in memory of a loved one.  Simply select the option for a tribute when making a donation. Both Honor and Memorial tributes will be acknowledged by a printed certificate sent to the Acknowledgee. Tributes will also be posted to the Ecology Action Center website on this page.

If you choose to honor someone in this way, please provide us with as much contact information as possible. For memorial contributions, please be sure to both indicate for whom the contribution is being made (Tribute Name) and to whom to provide the notification (Acknowledgee).
