Tribute and Memorial Trees $1,500
A tree in tribute to a friend or loved one is a wonderful gift that continues to grow. Choose from a variety of di erent tree species in our collections, or have the Matthaei-Nichols Curator choose for you. All trees available as tribute gifts have been planted and established in areas that best t our historic landscape plans. Pre-planting a tree ensures its health and longevity while also advancing our environmental stewardship goals. Your tribute tree gift directly supports the care and maintenance of our many display gardens, trails, and natural areas and is a 100% tax-deductible contribution to the University of Michigan. Each tribute tree gift comes with:
• An anodized aluminum tree plaque identifying the tree species, origin of nativity, and person(s) honored. • Tree maintenance for a period of 20 years e ectively beginning on the day of memorialization, including tree replacement if deemed necessary. Matthaei-Nichols will review the tree condition after the 20 year term and will contact the donor to discuss options for renewing the tree gift. • A digital archive of the tree available for public view on Matthaei-Nichols’ ‘Tribute Tracker.’ e archive record will include an accompanying photo and map of the memorial tree gift. • Recognition on our Donor Honor Roll published each year in the Annual Report.
