A tree tribute can be for any occasion. Below is the cover of the card. A Tree Tribute plants a 3-gallon shade tree. For each $50, a card will be sent to each person you indicate that announces that a gift has been made to the TreesUpstate Living Legacy Fund and that a reforestation tree will be planted. Make a Tree Tribute donation.
Make a Tribute
Make a tribute, and we will send this card, and a 3 gallon tree will be planted in our reforestation program.
$500 donations made to TreesUpstate’s Living Legacy Fund plant 15-gallon trees. Living Legacy Trees planted are species that can live 100 years or more, such as white oak, black tupelo, tulip poplar, or southern magnolia.
Honor the life of someone special or celebrate a special occasion by planting a native tree. Honorarium and Memorial trees are planted at a location of your choosing (pending property owner approval at your request) and installed with a custom plaque. We will work with you on a custom date in the winter months (October – April) to plant the tree with you and your family.
A card (image below) will be mailed to the person of your choice, letting them know you made this special living legacy gift. To purchase a Living Legacy Tree, click here!

How to complete a tribute, honorarium, or memorial gift online.
Instructions:
Mother’s Day. Father’s Day. Valentine’s Day. Thanksgiving. Christmas. Hanukkah. Birthdays. Anniversaries. New beginnings. Milestones worth celebrating. The options are endless!
Honor someone who has achieved two years of sobriety. Celebrate a baptism or graduation. Mark a new engagement or wedding anniversary. Remember someone whose smile you never want to forget.
Or give a gift to someone who simply doesn’t need more “stuff.”
Trees are a living legacy. They’re a meaningful way to say “I love you,” “I’m proud of you,” or “I’ll always remember you.”
Plant a tree in honor of a grandparent, celebrate the life of someone you’ve lost, or recognize a son or daughter and all they’ve accomplished.
Long after the cards are opened and the gifts are gone, a tree keeps growing, creating beauty, providing shade, and carrying a story for generations to come.
We will plant the Living Legacy Tree at a location of your choice, pending your approval from the property owners. Our staff will assist you in choosing a species that fits the location. It is your responsibility to request permission from the property owner to plant the tree and to call SC811 to verify that there are no utilities near the tree.
$500 Honorariums and Memorials planted are 15-gallon container trees. $50 Tree Tributes are 3-gallon trees. The Living Legacy Tree donation level includes species selection and delivery, tree planting, mulch and amendments, a tree diaper, and a one-year guarantee (if the tree fails within the first year, we will replace it).
Yes, pending the property owner’s approval. We will work with you to make a custom plaque.
Absolutely! Our staff will work with you to set up a custom tree-planting ceremony where you, your family, and your friends may participate in planting the tree as much or as little as you like.
