25th Anniversary accomplishments, news and events are now online and will be updated as our event gets closer.

with a note directing the donation.
Valentine's Day is for lovers and we love our parks, so give trees to the park systems of your choice in the Twin Cities in honor of your Valentine. The Friends make it easy. A hand stamped Valentine card announcing you gift will be sent
by the Friends to the recipient. A tree is a gift that will be enjoyed and
appreciated for years to come.
Tree lover Paula Culp has given a bequest to upsize any tree donated
to city or county parks in Ramsey County and you get a free Friends membership.
Please donate a tree today!
Over 6,000 donated trees have been planted in Twin Cities parks through our Tribute Tree, commemorative tree, memorial tree and tree sale donation programs. The trees are needed to replace park trees that are killed by wind storms, disease and drought.
Parks that accept our trees:
Ramsey County or city parks in Apple Valley, Arden Hills, Blaine, Brooklyn Park, Cottage Grove, Eagan, Falcon Heights, Lauderdale, Little Canada, Maplewood, Mendota Heights, North St. Paul, Roseville, St. Louis Park, St. Paul, Shoreview, Vadnais Heights, White Bear Township and Woodbury.
