The Trees Forever Program

About

Trees Forever is a program of the City of Wilmington and the Alliance for Cape Fear Trees that allows for the purchase of trees, in honor or in memory of a loved one.  This unique and sustainable gift is also a way of beautifying the City of Wilmington as well as improving the overall health of the environment.  

Picking a Location and Species

Trees will be planted along city streets or in park areas. This is a sample of tree species that donors can choose from.

The Alliance for Cape Fear Trees will coordinate with the donor about the specific tree species, its location, and the planting of the tree, with approval by the city. All trees will be planted during fall and winter months.
