Commemorative Tree Program

Overview

You can support the Northwest Missouri State University Arboretum by dedicating a commemorative tree. The Northwest Arboretum is a beautiful and natural place to commemorate a special person or occasion with a tree. A living tree honors your special person or event and produces many benefits, both tangible and intangible for the campus and for the environment during its lifetime.

A gift of $300 pays for a Commemorative Tree, its planting and initial care, and assists with maintenance over its lifetime. You receive a wooden plaque and a letter describing the tree, its planting location, and general information about the tree species. The arboretum committee will determine all trees and planting sites based on the arboretum master plan and on tree and site characteristics. Your gift will be recognized on the arboretum web site and by placement of a plaque at the tree.

A plan has been developed that calls for a university-wide celebration highlighted by the planting of at least 79 trees - one for each tree lost during the recent ice storm - in April. View the plan >>
