TREE MEMORIAL PROGRAM

The Town of Lacombe has developed a Tree Memorial Program with the first planting beginning in the Spring of 2001.  A variety of trees are available and have been listed below for your convenience.  The Town's nursery, located just northeast of Wolf Creek Industrial Park, (marked in orange on the attached map) has been well marked to identify the many rows of trees should you be unfamiliar with the appearance of some varieties and wish to visit the nursery.

Trees may be purchased by individuals who wish to donate a tree to the Town in memory of someone who has died.  In this case a certificate will be issued to the bereaved noting the donors name and the name of the deceased.  All donors will be issued a receipt for income tax purposes.  Our Tree Memorial Program has been linked to our Park Bench Memorial Program in that trees donated to the Town will be placed around the memorial benches so they will compliment each other.  The Town map below indicates the various locations where these trees will be planted.

Trees are priced according to size as follows:

6 - 8 foot trees        $100
8 - 10 foot trees      $175
10 - 12 Foot Tree     $250

and include the following varieties

Blue Spruce
