You can create a living legacy that will stand for generations by purchasing a tree to be planted at the new arboretum or other public site.

Many Legacy Trees are purchased as a memorial to a friend or family member who has passed away. Visiting these trees over the years as they grow and mature can give solace and an opportunity to remember those who have passed on.

Other trees are planted as gifts. Imagine the pleasure a birthday gift of a living tree would give a six-year-old and the continued pleasure that tree will give when that youngster turns sixty!

Plant a tree to mark the birth of grandchild or that special wedding anniversary. The gift of a living tree can be especially meaningful to a parent or grandparent when it comes from the family.

A living tree is a gift that truly keeps on giving ... for generations.

Legacy Trees are recognized on a brass plaque in the Town Hall. Those donated to the new arboretum at the visitor center will be recognized in a similar fashion in that building.

For more information and to arrange the purchase of a Legacy Tree, contact Russ Franklin via email: rfranklin@estes.org or by phone at 577-3781.
