2010 Remembrance Tree Planting Roster

A space is waiting (in a local park and in the table below)
for the Remembrance Tree you may donate.

The donation amount was $300 for a 1.5" - 2" caliper tree with a 3-year guarantee period.
The Fall 2010 planting donation cut-off date was 15 Sep 2010.

Please note that certain specialized species, if requested by the donor, may increase the donation amount based upon the increased purchase price from the commercial nursery.  Donate funds for your Remembrance Tree by calling CRPR at (814) 231-3071 (M-F, 8-5).

In the case of young trees, caliper is the diameter of the tree measured six inches
above ground level. Depending on the species, the trees vary in height from 6'-10'.

  • Although the trees will be planted only in the spring or fall, they may be ordered at any time.

  • Payments must be received prior to February 15 for spring planting and prior to September 15 for fall planting. (Some species, such as oaks, may not tolerate fall planting and therefore may only be planted in the spring.)

  • The trees will be planted by Centre Region Parks & Recreation staff.

The trees listed below reflect donations made for 2010 plantings.
