The National Park Service (NPS) is able to accept donations for Cherry trees for the Greater Washington National Parks. Using donations to the Cherry Tree Replacement Fund, NPS will plant a tree or trees in the name of the person to be honored. They will also publicly recognize the person and the donation. Depending upon the interest of the donor, NPS may arrange for a tree planting ceremony and provide the donor with a framed certificate that includes photos and the recognition. Cherry tree donations can provide a charitable deduction and often can offer additional tax savings. The Cherry Tree Fund is managed for NPS by the National Park Foundation (NPF). For more information, please contact Ms. Wendy O’Sullivan at Wendy_O’Sullivan@nps.gov or 202-374-9051 (cell).
