Alfred James Memory Tree Program

Established in 1991, this program results in 1000's native seedlings planted annually in memory of a loved one

A tree is a symbol of life., The Memory Tree Program provides those who are grieving the death of a loved one a living memorial and provides a sense of comfort to those who are grieving the death of a loved one.

The Memory Tree Program has helped to revegetate almost 600 hectares in State National Parks in Cobbler Creek and O’Halloran Hill.

Trees For Life members now plant native Memory Trees on the hundreds of hectares of land surrounding the animal habitats at Monarto Zoological Park. These trees improve wildlife habitat and air quality, whilst also reducing erosion and salinity in the Murray River Basin.

When the trees have been planted, a certificate enclosed in a special folder is presented to the bereaved along with information about the Memory Trees and about Monarto Zoological Park.

In 2001 the Alfred James partnership with Trees For Life won the South Australian Medium Business Category in the Prime Minister’s Awards for Excellence in Community Business Partnerships.
