An Everlasting 911 Memorial, of Tree plantings, from seeds of a 150+ yr old NY Euorpean Beech Tree.

This Tree Planting Memorial Project is in Memory of all our Loved ones lost on Sept 11th 2001.

Each tree planted will serve as a Memorial. With the help of others, the seeds from these trees will then be planted & the Memory will be passed on to future generations.

Highlighted in a NY Times article by Nina Bernstein on 9-4-05, this Majestic tree is located in Whitestone NY & is well over 150+ yrs old, with a cirumference spanning 17'.
