The process is easy and starts with selecting the neighborhood for your honorary tree from a listing of eligible locations where street tree plantings are underway or planned. These honorariums require a $1,000 donation, which helps fund our ongoing programs while recognizing someone near and dear to your heart.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I choose the location? Where will my tree(s) be planted?
Yes, you may select a neighborhood location from a listing of areas where new street trees are planned. We are not able to provide a specific street level location, but you can select a neighborhood. Due to the nature of our work, we are not able to place markings or identifiers on trees. After your contribution has been confirmed and entered into the City’s official tree database, you and others will see the specific tree location on our web site with recognition of the honorees, donor(s), date and tree type. A letter and special tree certificate will be mailed to the person of your choice.
What does the honoree receive?
The honoree or the person of your choice will receive a letter and tree certificate identifying the tree location and the donation.
Where does my contribution go?
All gifts go to TreesCharlotte to expand and diversify our urban forest, and to educate residents on tree care.

Yes! Gifts to the Honorary Forest Program may be made to commemorate any occasion, including birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, graduations and many more.
