Memorial Tree & Bench Program

Niagara Parks strives to plant numerous trees throughout its 1,325 hectares (3,274 acres) of property each year. It’s part of an ongoing mandate to preserve and protect the natural landscape for millions of guests from around the world. The Niagara Parks Memorial Tree & Bench Program is one way for relatives and friends to take part in this important cause.

The gift of a tree is a lasting tribute that benefits the community and natural environment, and memorial benches offer a unique remembrance of a loved one in one of Niagara Parks’ many beautiful settings.

Memorial Trees in Niagara Parks

Contribute towards the Niagara Parks Foundation's tree planting program each year as part of its mandate to preserve and protect the natural environment along the Niagara River corridor. The gift of a tree is a lasting tribute and will benefit the community, off-set carbon footprints and be appreciated by visitors for decades to come.

There is a cost of $600 for each tree planted. Cost includes materials, planting, memorial label and ongoing maintenance.
