Summary
The board discussed planting a memorial tree for a Fox Harbor resident, estimated the cost at about $500 for tree, planting and plaque, and said donations are already being collected; the family’s preferences are being consulted.
The Prospect Forestation Board discussed a request to plant a memorial tree for a recently deceased Fox Harbor resident and reported early fundraising activity and next steps.
Board members said the typical memorial package—tree, planting and plaque—costs roughly $500 and that organizers are already collecting donations. Linda and others said the family is in contact with the board and that placement options include a pull-in area just past Little Hunting Creek Park or other sites within the Fox Harbor community. Members cautioned that some park areas are seasonally wet and that they should confirm a site that suits the family’s preference.
Board members also noted other existing memorial trees in Little Hunting Creek Park, including a dawn redwood that has thrived after being relocated from a median. The board agreed to continue coordinating with the family and to take photographs of established plantings for the newsletter and records.
