For those who wish to dedicate a gift for a special purpose, the following guide will help you make a choice of the way you wish to honor a friend, family member of loved one. Each contribution is acknowledged. The donor is thanked and the Arboretum contacts the family member or the individual who has been remembered or recognized by a gift as well. |

| Policy on Cremated Ashes | Scattering of cremated ashes, in a symbolic gesture using no more than a pinch of ashes, is permitted upon prior agreement with the Director of Development or Development Assistant. Unless part of a memorial tree designation, we request that these ashes be scattered in the forested areas away from the cultivated gardens. | |
| For More Information | This listing is
provided to serve as a guideline for giving prospects but is not a
comprehensive list. Should you have a specialized interest (for example,
in art, birds, etc.) the staff will be delighted to explore those
possibilities with you as well. For additional information please contact Linda Wilkerson, Director of Development, at 828.665.2492 extension 208 or e-mail her lwilkerson@ncarboretum.org. You may also contact Winnie Fisher, Development Assistant, at 828.665.2492 extension 210 or e-mail her at wfisher@ncarboretum.org for more information. |
