A Living Remembrance

A memorial tree can be a living remembrance of a loved one or a celebration of a happy event.

It also provides a sense of belonging and community.

Trees improve the quality of life for the community and the City of Albuquerque as a whole, providing a benefit and enjoyment to people who use our parks. In addition, trees are a growing and living symbol for the individuals they represent.

A memorial tree is a wonderful honor for individuals or organizations to make in someone's name; it is a gift that keeps on growing.

Who Does the Planting?

The Park Management Division has a staff of Forestry employees who are responsible for all tree plantings for the City of Albuquerque. After planting, the City takes care of watering, pruning and other maintenance.
