Memorial Tree Program

The Sugar House Park Authority and TreeUtah officially agreed in early 2009 to become partners in a Commemorative and Memorial Tree Program, through which donated trees will be planted in Sugar House Park.

The program offers an opportunity for individuals or families to honor or remember friends and loved ones by having a tree planted in Sugar House Park, which would greatly benefit from the program through the semi-annual planting of much needed new trees.

The program will be administered by TreeUtah.

Anyone wishing to participate in the program should contact TreeUtah’s Urban and Community Forestry Program Coordinator at 801-364-2122.

TreeUtah processes requests and payments to the program, and it also informs donors of the available tree species and planting location within the Park, upon consultation with the Park Authority.

The cost of a commemorative/memorial tree is $300, which covers the purchase of the tree and the planting of it. Memorial tree plantings will take place twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall. Donors may acknowledge honorees through a web-based listing of donated trees; unfortunately, plaques or signs on the tree itself cannot be permitted.
