Give living gifts through TreePeople organization

TreePeople presents the Holiday "Gift of Life" Tree Dedication program.

For a $25 taxdeductible donation, a newly planted tree will be dedicated in honor of family, friends or other gift recipients, who will receive a personalized holiday card announcing the gift.

For a $100 contribution, recipients are sent an inscribed certificate announcing that a grove of five trees has been dedicated in their name. Certificates may be framed with a recycled wood frame for an additional $30.

Thousands of trees are planted each year through the program. With the financial support from this program, TreePeople staff and volunteers work with land management agencies to restore the mountains and park woodlands of Southern California.
