Now you can donate a tree in honor or memory of friends and family. Donating a tree is a beautiful gift to celebrate births, weddings,
graduations and other events. It is also a wonderful way to remember loved ones.
The Roanoke Commemorative Tree Program was launched on October 23, 2003, in Roanoke's Highland Park. The first tree, a
Pin Oak, was donated by City Councilman Bill Bestpitch in memory of his grandfathers. As of December 2011, there are 105
Commemorative Trees in Roanoke.
Locations are available for Commemorative Trees in City parks and along City streets and greenways. For more information,
contact Dan Henry, the City's Urban Forester, or view
the brochure. Mail the completed brochure and payment to Dan Henry,
Parks and Recreation, 215 Church Avenue, Room 303, Roanoke, VA 24011. Commemorative Tree photos courtesy of Roanoke Tree Stewards.
