Note: 
If the tree is not planted in an irrigated area please be aware that Park Rangers will not likely have time for watering and caring for newly planted trees. We recommend that donators help rangers with caring for trees to ensure their survival. The parks department is not responsible for replacing any trees that die from transplant shock or disease.

Markers for Donated Trees shall be placed adjacent to donated trees on concrete pads built and installed by parks department staff. The markers shall be 5”x7” bronze plaques. The wording will be of the donor’s choice besides wording that is prohibited by County Donation Policy found here.
