TREE-MENDOUS Maryland - Gift of Trees

As bulbs sprout through the snow it's time to think Spring. Plan ahead. Consider planting native trees in Honor or Memory of family and friends, to celebrate Holidays, birthdays, and to observe other special occasions! 

Your Gift of Trees is actually three gifts - one to someone you care for, one to future generations, and one to the environment. TREE-MENDOUS MARYLAND will arrange for the trees to be planted in Maryland in the county in which the recipient of the certificate lives.

Maryland’s TREE-MENDOUS program provides high-quality, native trees and shrubs available at reasonable prices for plantings on public lands. The trees may be planted in places such as community open spaces, school grounds, government facilities, and rights-of-way. They may not be planted at private residences.

You may purchase the Gift of Trees at $40.00 for each tree. A grove of ten trees at $400.00 lets you decide where you would like to have the trees planted. A certificate, suitable for framing, is sent to the recipient announcing your Gift.
