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.

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'.

April 2012
The Plaque for the tree on Francis Lewis Blvd which was dontated by George Weeks DaleCemetery.com was recently damaged, we suspect the NYC Parks or the landscaper Garden Works who did some work there damaged it. Last spring someone weed wacked the base of the tree, damaging the bark subjecting it to infection, so we installed stakes and a yellow ribbon which they also damaged! The ribbon which was intentionally placed there to prevent further damage to the tree, but they not only ignored it, they ripped it up. This is a sacred tree and we can not understand why anyone would do such an offensive thing! If anyone has any information as to who is responsible, please contact us.
