Get Involved

A vibrant community doesn't happen by accident—it is built by neighbors who show up, lend a hand, and care for one another. Whether you have a few hours a month or a free weekend, your time and talents can make a real difference right here at home.

A memorial trees and benches are a creative way to commemorate one of life’s milestones, from weddings and anniversaries to the birth of a child, or a memorial to a loved one or relative that is no longer with us. Memorial trees may also serve to commemorate groups or individuals that have had meaningful impacts on our community.

You can commemorate someone with a memorial tree or bench with a one-time donation. Costs can vary depending on your wishes.  Memorial tree will be planted or a bench placed in a park or somewhere on village property. With your donation, you will be informed where and when memorial is placed.

Interested parties are encouraged to contact the Village Office at 608-635-2122 for more information.
