GIVE A GIFT OF A LIVING LEGACY BY DONATING A TREE!
Honor births, anniversaries, or memories of loved ones and friends in a manner that benefits everyone – including the environment. A tree donation can last decades and is a thoughtful, distinctive, and eco-friendly way to show you care.
When donating a tree (shade or evergreen) for planting in a park or on the golf course, Mundelein Park & Recreation District staff will guide you with the tree selection and the planting location. Your tree donation includes the purchase of a tree, installation, and maintenance of the sapling tree as it grows.
Donations are made through our 501 (c) (3) charity, Mundelein Parks Foundation, and are tax-deductible. Tree donations can be accepted year-round, but payment and all tree donation details such as park choice and planting location MUST be finalized by September 30. Regular Tree Donations are a one-time payment of $800 that is collected when you register for the program. Once registered, you will be contacted by the Parks Dept. to help you decide where your Tree Donation is to be planted.
Bronze Plaque
Your tree donation, comes with a distinctive 5’ X 7’ bronze plaque with an engraved personalized message. We will order the bronze plaque, mount it in cement and install it at the base of your Tree Donation. Plaques include up to three lines of text with 18 characters and spacing per line, shipping, and installation. Additional wording and lines can be ordered for an additional cost. If you decide to add more lines, payment in full is required before the Memorial Plaque is installed.
