Commemorative
Trees

Fall 2024 Planting Applications open on July 1, 2024.

Sponsor a tree to be planted in Newport.

A commemorative tree is a wonderful way to memorialize a loved one or celebrate a special event while also contributing to the health and vibrance of Newport’s urban forest. Tree locations are made available based on available public space, and limited to those sites displayed on the map below.

Cost: $500/tree. Your contribution to the Newport Tree Conservancy is fully tax-deductible.
