Memorial trees are living tributes to loved ones who are no longer with us. Whether you’re gifting a tree for your own friend or family member or for someone close to you who has lost a loved one, it can be comforting to know their legacy is connected a larger cause: protecting and maintaining the beauty of our world. Memorial trees are a gift that will last and give back for generations.
PROVIDE WATER
More than 50% of U.S. drinking water comes from forests. Trees pull water out from the ground and release it back into the rivers and lakes.
Clean Air
Trees have been dubbed the “lungs of the Earth” because they absorb pollutants and filter contaminants in the air.
Create Oxygen
One large tree can provide a day’s supply of oxygen for up to 4 people, while 2 ac. of forest provides enough for 500+ people each year.
Improve Soil
Trees break down organic matter then release nutrients back into the soil, which counteracts plants that take these nutrients out of the soil.
Prevent Disasters
Tree root systems absorb water and stabilize soil, which help prevent erosion, flooding, and other natural disasters from happening.
Help Wildlife
Trees are essential to wildlife and ecosystems. They provide food, protection, and homes for many birds and mammals.
