Trees: The Ultimate Gift
Planting a tree can be a unique gift as a
tribute to a child or grandchild, a way to commemorate
the life of a departed loved-one or to honor a living
friend. A tree is a gift to the ages that transcends
time.
The Johnson County Conservation Board inaugurated
the memorial tree planting program last year. A
total of 24 trees have been planted so far at Kent
Park, the Scott Church area and Walker Park. This
program has had a great start and will provide beauty
and habitat for years to come.
Each planted tree will have a small engraved plaque
near the base to commemorate the honoree. Typical
costs for a six to ten foot tree and plaque are
in the $75 - $150 range.
If you are interested in purchasing memorial trees
for any county park, please contact Harry Graves,
JCCB Director at 319-645-2315.
