Remembering a loved one?

Tree Trust offers two ways to honour them and support our trees.

1. Community-supported Elder Tree Care

Perhaps they hiked, gardened, or simply enjoyed a quiet walk in the woods. However you remember them, nature was part of their story.

What better way to remember someone than with a gift to Tree Trust, which preserves legacy trees in local communities.

Your donation helps protect the irreplaceable legacy trees that have stood for generations. With expert care from certified arborists — including pruning, deadwood removal, and soil restoration — we extend their lives and preserve their strength.

Each time you hear the rustle of leaves or gaze up at a towering oak or maple, you’ll be reminded of your loved one — and the living legacy you’ve helped protect.


To make a donation to support Tree Trust in honour of someone, please follow the link below. Your donation will include an opportunity to write a short note of condolence.

Tree Trust is a program of The Elora Environment Centre, a registered Canadian charity. Charitable tax receipts are provided.

2. Legacy Tree Program

Honour a life. Grow a legacy.

Tree Trust’s Legacy Tree Program offers a meaningful way to remember a loved one. 

Through this program, a mature tree is preserved with expert arboriculture care and dedicated to your loved one.  Each Legacy Tree is fitted with a small plaque, creating a lasting way to remember them. 

It takes $2,500 to preserve one elder tree with qualified care from a Tree Trust Approved Arborist. You might consider inviting your friends and family to contribute.  Please contact Toni Ellis at [email protected] to learn more about this program.
