Memorial Tree & Bench Program

Celebrate a Special Occasion or Honor an Extraordinary Person

Sponsored by the Northglenn Community Foundation, the Memorial Tree and Bench Program allows groups and individuals to donate trees and benches to commemorate special events or as memorials to loved ones. Examples include graduations, anniversaries or wedding presents. Planting a tree for family members or friends provides a meaningful and enduring memorial that can be enjoyed for generations.
