TREE DONOR PROGRAM
WHY HAVE A TREE DONOR PROGRAM?
Planting trees can make our community more aesthetically pleasing.
To meet our needs and your expectations for your park system, we created our
Tree Donor Program through the Deerfield Park Foundation. We hope that
interested citizens and community groups will participate in this environmental
partnership. Weather, disease and time often destroy the trees in our parks and at
our golf course, and these trees need to be replaced. Although money is allocated to replenish and care for our trees, they are costly. We believe we do a good
job of replacing lost trees, and we'd like to do more.
WHEN IS A TREE THE PERFECT GIFT?
Most of the trees purchased through our Tree Donor Program have been
planted in memory of someone special or in honor of a person,
organization or event deserving of recognition. We receive a lot of donations
around Earth Day and Arbor Day, and while we appreciate these donations, we
sincerely believe that improving our environment is a year-round concern. We
can think of no better contribution than to present the
community with a growing gift of nature which will benefit all of our citizens
and serve as a living tribute for years to come.
HOW CAN YOU JOIN THE MANY RESIDENTS AND
ORGANIZATIONS ON OUR TREE DONOR PLAQUES?
When you purchase a tree through the Tree Donor Program, your
contribution is acknowledged on a permanent plaque located in the Jewett Park
Community Center (if your tree is at one of our park sites) or in the Deerfield
Park District Golf Club (if your tree is at our golf course).
There is no additional charge for your name being added to this plaque.
WHAT VARIETY OF TREE MAY I SELECT?
Variety is the spice of life in our Deerfield Park Foundation Tree Donor Program. Many varieties of trees and site locations are available for your selection.
Just indicate your preferences on the order form on the
back of this brochure. Final selection of site and tree will remain with the horticultural specialists on our park district staff. They will be happy to consult with
you about your options.
WHAT IS THE COST OF A TREE?
Money doesn’t grown on trees, we know, but just a glance at our price list will
convince you that you can plant a tree at a very reasonable cost. Prices of trees vary
from year to year depending on the size and the species. Price includes an engraved
nameplate "In Honor of…" or "In Memory of…" (displayed on the wall in the
main entrance of Jewett Park Community Center)*. The larger the diameter of the
tree, the fuller the growth. Trees that we plant are two inches or more in diameter.
All trees are carefully chosen, healthy specimens, grown in selected nurseries in the
area. All donations are tax deductible. If you prefer to make a general donation (and
not specify a tree or site selection), you may do so. The money will be spent on a
beautification project in our parks or at our golf course. Many other opportunities
are also available.
