Adopt-A-Tree
Honor a Loved One or Commemorate a Milestone
READY TO ADOPT A Tree?
Tree adoptions show your love for a person or event in your life by making a meaningful dedication in their honor while supporting a vibrant future for the Canal’s tree canopy. By adopting a newly planted tree, you make an intentional commemoration and join together with the High Line Canal Conservancy to fulfill our goal to preserve, protect and enhance the Canal. To adopt your tree:
- Fill out the adoption form on this page. Include:
- Name of recipient
- Date of adoption (can be the date you fill out the form or another significant date like a birthday, anniversary, holiday, etc.)
- Preferred tree location using the UniqueID from the Tree Adoption Map on this page (details below)
- Within approximately one week, you will receive a confirmation email that your identified tree is available for adoption or if any changes are needed.* The confirmation email will ask if you’d like to provide a short narrative about why you chose to adopt a tree or the person or event you commemorate. We will publish narratives on the Tree Tribute page. We will create a certificate to commemorate your adoption at this time.
*Note: tree adoptions are on a first-come, first-served basis, so if a tree has previously been adopted, we will work with you to find a different tree.
