Hamilton's Memorial Tree Program ... a lasting legacy The City of Hamilton, Parks and Recreation Department offers an interesting way to honor a friend and beautify the community at the same time. The benefits of the Memorial Tree Program are many: * A unique gift* A lasting tribute * Beautify the parks * Clean the air * Control erosion * Ease noise pollution The Memorial Tree Program, located at Veterans Park, 20 New London Road, is comprised of a selection of trees that are native and disease resistant. The variety range from small flowering trees to major hardwoods and evergreens. The trees will be at least 1" in diameter and will be planted in a designated area, or thicket, to minimize damage from mowing equipment. The cost of a planted tree is $200. Of this, $150 is the cost of the tree and $50 is for the maintenance fund. The maintenance fund will provide for the proper establishment of the young trees and ensure their long life.
