Planting a tree is a positive step toward making Decatur an even more beautiful place to live. The Landscape & Beautification Department urges churches, businesses and individuals to plant trees on their own property. Consideration should be given to selecting species appropriate to the growing site. Give a gift for a lifetime, plant a tree.
Remember: > Trees add natural beauty > Trees provide shade and conserve energy > Trees provide oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide > Trees absorb noise > Trees provide screens for unsightly areas > Trees are a natural refuge for wildlife

In honor of -or- In memory of Name ____________________________________________________
Trees are a reminder of the enduring strength and beauty of life. A tree is a heartfelt way to honor the memory or to celebrate a milestone in a loved one’s life. Through the Memorial Tree Program of the Landscape & Beautification Department of the City of Decatur, you can plant a living legacy. The names of persons honored and the donors are recorded in the Commemorative Tree Book. The species of trees planted vary depending on where in the City they will be planted. An arborist works with us to select the recommended species. Whenever possible, we’ll work with your request to plant a tree in an area park or public space in Decatur that reflects the nature of your gift. Persons honored or their families are sent a card announcing the gift and the donor. The costs vary depending on the tree. We purchase trees from local nurseries and the Landscape & Beautification crew does the plantings so that all contributions may be used entirely for trees.
