Trees for Vets & Memorials

Give a gift that will last several lifetimes! Having a tree planted in the City of Oswego is a wonderful way to honor a loved one and also provides a gift to the whole community. Trees are planted by the City of Oswego on City-owned land so everyone can enjoy the shade, beauty and enjoyment that a living tree provides.

     A memorial tree can be planted for many occasions: in memory of someone who has passed away; in honor of a dedicated service member; to celebrate a birthday, graduation, wedding, retirement, or other occasion.  Planting a memorial tree is a remembrance of the past and at the same time a renewing of life. Planting a tree is a wonderful tribute to a loved one or friend. A tree is a gift that can last through several lifetimes - a gift that keeps on giving.
