The City of El Paso Parks and Recreation Department maintains a Memorial Tree Program, which provides the general public with an opportunity to have a tree planted in memory or in honor of a loved one, for a certain fee.

The gift of a tree is a unique way to celebrate, honor or memorialize a special individual, group or event, while adding a long-lasting aesthetic and environmental benefit to the entire community. An acknowledgement letter is sent to those that purchase a tree. A certificate suitable for framing is sent to the honoree and family and is posted on the Parks and Recreation web site.

The various levels to buy a Memorial Tree are:

$75 Seedlings

$200 Tree

$350 Specimen Tree

$600 Grove (a group of trees)

The Memorial Tree form is available on the Parks and Recreation web site at www.elpasotexas.gov/parks. A recent donor for the Tree program was Tom Angelos for June and Ray Hermansen.
