| The Living Tree Program is designed for those persons or organizations desiring to commemorate a particular event by the planting of a tree. This event might be an anniversary, birthday, wedding, birth, reunion, graduation, retirement or death of a loved one. A person or group chooses a tree from a designated list. The tree will be planted by the Parks Division.
A fact sheet is available here ( PDF File).
Interested persons or groups must order and pay for a tree in the Parks Maintenance Center, 3170 Valleywood Dr. The Parks Maintenance Center is open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.
The tree will be planted in Kettering on public land including parks, medians, churches, hospital or public buildings. The tree may not be planted on residential property, businesses or other areas private in nature. The donor may request a particular planting site, which will be followed if possible. The Parks Superintendent may make necessary changes.
The Civic Commons Park area is fully planted. Other areas should be selected.
The trees will be ordered and planted in the spring or fall by the City’s Parks personnel. An effort will be made to contact the donors when the tree is planted so they may attend the tree planting.
Call (937) 296-2486 for more information.
