Plenty of planting spots available with City of Kamloops memorial tree program
KAMLOOPS — The City of Kamloops is reminding residents of an environmentally friendly way to commemorate a loved one – with its tree memorial program.
Parks and Civic Facilities Manager Jeff Putnam says the memorial bench side of the program has proven so popular the City is running out of prime locations for benches. However, there are plenty of spots available to start growing memorial trees throughout city parks.
Putnam says they’ve been wanting to boost urban forestry within the city, and figures the memorial option is a win-win.
