Memorial Tree & Bench Program
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.
