In an effort to beautify the City of Marysville, and to honor or memorialize a citizen, the Marysville Parks & Recreation Commission has adopted the following Memorial Tree Program.

• Donors will be responsible for purchase of tree and plaque.

• City crews will pick up trees that are purchased from any nursery within a ten mile radius of Marysville.  Any tree purchased outside this area must be delivered between September 8th and September 15th.  (No Saturday or Sunday deliveries.)

• The trees are to be one and a half inches to two inches caliper, and may be balled and burlaped or in 15-gallon containers.

• Memorial trees will be planted in any of the following areas:  Eljer Park, Greenwood Park, and along the Jim Simmons Trail.  The Public Service Department will provide a map for the best location where the trees would have the best chance for survival.  (See the list of approved trees toward the bottom of this page.)

• The Public Service Department will take care of the planting once per year during the month of September.  All plaques shall be no larger than 6" x 10" in size and will be secured on an 8" x 12" concrete form, provided by the Public Service Department.

• The donor may choose either of the following wording on the plaque, "In Memory of" or "In Honor of"; followed by the name of the individual.

• The City of Marysville will not be responsible for any damage that may occur to the tree or plaque and all warranties shall come from the place of purchase.
