Honorary Trees

Trees are a unique way to celebrate the birth of a child, celebrate a life milestone or create a living tribute to a lost loved one.

  • A donation of $30 to plant a tree in the Grand River watershed is a wonderful way to improve our quality of life, today and for future generations. 
  • Your donation comes with a charitable receipt. Their name,  and yours, will be marked on this webpage. Please note that these donations go towards our Nature Conservancy Fund, which supports GRCA tree planting projects. Contributions cannot be ascribed to specific trees.
  • Please visit our secure website and select Give Grand! ($30 to Plant a Tree) to make your donation. If you would like an acknowledgement other than a digital card sent, please provide us with your tributee's contact information by emailing us after completing your donation.

If you prefer to make a donation over the phone or by cheque, please call our office at 519-621-2761.

Prior to 2023, honorary tree donations were recorded in the Honorary Tree Book located at our head office. The book remains available to view past memorials, and moving forward the names will be recorded on this webpage.
