Memorial Tree and Bench Program

Memorial/Heritage Tree and Bench Program

Monona Parks & Recreation offers a Memorial/Heritage Tree and Bench Program which allows groups and individuals to donate trees or benches to commemorate special events, honor individuals or agencies, or as memorials to loved ones.

Trees and benches purchased through the program can be ordered at any time and installed/placed (as weather permits) in city parks. We will try to honor your wishes for where you would like the bench or tree to be placed, pending park management considerations, or you may allow us to select the most appropriate place. Contact Parks & Recreation office at 608.222.4167 to purchase a bench or tree or to answer any questions.
