Planting a tree in a national park in memory of a loved one is a gesture that will last for many lifetimes, and it allows others to join in the celebration of your loved one's life.
Step 1
Choose which national park you'd like to plant the tree in. There is a national park in almost every state. The family state or any other state the family has an attachment to would be a good choice. Check with the chosen national park for specific rules and regulations. Ask about any groups that may sponsor a memorial tree planting offer or partnership.
Step 2
Choose a memorial tree that will grow in the climate of the national park's location. If participating in a sponsored program, they will have park specific trees specific available for planting; if not, contact the national park to get a list of trees that will thrive in their area.
Step 3
Schedule a time or plan to join the sponsorship program at a ceremony for planting the tree and memorializing a loved one.
Step 4
Invite family and friends to the planting ceremony. Share the beginning of this special memorial with those who loved and knew the person memorialized.
Step 5
Remind loved ones occasionally about the memorial. Plan family trips to include a visit.
