TREE DONOR PROGRAM WHY HAVE A TREE DONOR PROGRAM? Planting trees make our community more aesthetically pleasing. To meet our needs and your expectations for your park system, we created our Tree Donor Program through the Deerfield Park Foundation. We hope that interested citizens and community groups will participate in this environmental partnership. Weather, disease and time often destroy the trees in our parks and at our golf course, and these trees need to be replaced. Although money is allocated to replenish and care for our trees, they are costly. We believe we do a good job of replacing lost trees, and we'd like to do more.

WHEN IS A TREE THE PERFECT GIFT? Most of the trees purchased through our Tree Donor Program have been planted in memory of someone special or in honor of a person, organization or event deserving of recognition. We can think of no better contribution than to present the community with a growing gift of nature which will benefit all of our citizens and serve as a living tribute for years to come.

HOW CAN YOU JOIN THE MANY RESIDENTS AND ORGANIZATIONS ON OUR TREE DONOR PLAQUES? When you purchase a tree through the Tree Donor Program, your contribution is acknowledged on a permanent plaque located in the Jewett Park Community Center (if your tree is at one of our park sites) or in the Deerfield Park District Golf Club (if your tree is at our golf course). There is no additional charge for your name being added to this plaque.

WHAT VARIETY OF TREE MAY I SELECT? Many varieties of trees and site locations are available for your selection. Just choose from the tree options listed, then indicate your preferences on the order form on the back of this brochure. Final selection of site and tree will remain with the horticultural specialists on our park district staff. They will be happy to consult with you about your options.

WHEN DOES PLANTING OCCUR? Planting occurs in the Spring and Fall and is dependant on the type of tree choosen.

WHAT IS THE COST OF A TREE? Tree donation is $350 and includes an engraved nameplate “In Honor of…” or “In Memory of…” (displayed on the wall in the main entrance of Jewett Park Community Center). All trees are carefully chosen, healthy specimens, grown in selected nurseries in the area. All donations are tax deductible.
