Memorial Tree Program


A Memorial Tree is a wonderful way to honor a loved one or a friend, deceased or living.  Since the fall of 2000, volunteers from the Old Mission Peninsula Historical Society (OMPHS) have beautified the roads of the Old Mission Peninsula with more than 650 trees, over 250 of which have been dedicated as Memorial Trees.  Each year, new plantings are added and more Memorial Trees are dedicated. 

The northern end of Old Mission Peninsula on Center Road was once  lined with magnificent old maple trees some over 100 years until age, salt and disease took them down.  

If you would like to participate in this program please use this form and mail it with your contribution.  
​

Recently, Ken Weaver and Jim Hall from the society, presented a $500 check to the Senior Patrol Leader of Boy Scout Troop 34 in recognition of the scout's tree planting efforts on behalf of our Memorial Tree program.  The scouts have been planting trees for this program since 2009.  These funds will be used to purchase new tents for the troop and the presentation was made at Court of Honor.
