Tree Donation Form

Springfield Township Park Department has four parks covering over 552.5

acres of land. You can help support our parks by purchasing a tree, with

a commemorative or recognition plaque. Your donation can make a

difference and provide a lasting benefit for future generations.

The donation may be a tax deductible contribution (consult a tax advisor

for information). Individuals may recommend a specific location for

placement of the tree, however the final placement will be determined

by the parks staff. All trees are guaranteed for one year from the day of

planting. If the tree fails to thrive, it will be replaced free of charge.

Tree Donation

You can choose the type of tree you wish to dedicate. Shade trees ($500)

include maple, ash, basswood and oak. Ornamental trees ($250- $350)

are smaller trees that usually have delightful flowers or fruit and include

crabapple, and redbud. Ornamental trees come in 8’-10’ and 6’-8’ sizes,

Although you can donate a tree at any time of the year, trees are

actually planted in the spring (April 1-June 20) and in the fall (October 1–

December 20) .

Plaque Guidelines

Plaque messages are limited to 24 characters (the charge for each

additional letter is 50 cents). Sample messages are “In loving memory of

John Smith”, “In honor of John and Jane on their 50th anniversary”. All

messages are subject to Springfield Township Parks and Recreation

Department approval. The plaques will accompany the donated tree.

The price of the donations includes costs associated with installation of the

tree and the Plaque.
