In this way trees serve as growing memorials to loved ones for many generations, while they benefit the entire community. Businesses may dedicate trees in city parks to honor outstanding employees, or to dedicated new buildings, new additions to existing plants, or new company headquarters. Some organizations may wish to donate and dedicate trees for the betterment of the community. Our extensive park system in Fort Collins is continually being developed and trees are one of the major assets in beautifying our parks. One of the primary goals of the Fort Collins Parks and Recreation Department is to enrich the environment and improve open space and recreational facilities.
Planting trees is an excellent way to help meet that goal.
Your tax-deductible gift will be used to purchase trees to be planted in the Fort Collins Park system. The City Forestry Division personnel will care for the trees. Contributions for one or more trees are gratefully accepted. The Forestry Division maintains a permanent record of all living tribute trees. By departmental policy, markers or plaques are not allowed to be placed by the tree.
