The Tribute That Keeps Growing

ReLeaf New Orleans is Parkway Partners’ volunteer-driven initiative to restore the city’s once robust urban forest, in partnership with the New Orleans Department of Parks and Parkways.

For every $25 donated to the Gift of ReLeaf program, Parkway Partners will create a customized card announcing the planting of a New Orleans tree in your honoree’s name.  ReLeaf New Orleans trees are substantial in size, as per city ordinances and guidelines established by the Department of Parks and Parkways, and the costs detailed below include maintenance and watering.

• Tree Sponsorship $ 25
• Memorial Tree (special memorial card) $ 50
• Schoolyard or Street-to-Sidewalk Tree  $100
• Neutral Ground or Park Tree $300-$500

We will mail the card to your honoree, or you may pick up and deliver.
