Memorial Trees

Thank you for your interest in JSC’s Memorial Tree Program.  Your thoughtful memorial will ensure that your loved one remains honored at JSC for years to come.

Survivors or other interested parties may request permission to plant a tree on the Johnson Space Center’s (JSC) property in a memory of a deceased:

  • Current or former NASA employee or contractor
  • Immediately family member (spouse or children) of a current or former NASA employee or contractor
  • Individual who has made noteworthy contributions to the space program approved by Center management

Memorial trees will no longer be planted in the employee grove at Johnson Space Center. Trees will now be planted at the Gilruth Center. Trees may only be purchased and planted from October through February to maximize survivability. 

The fee for memorial trees includes the tree, marker, delivery, and installation. Price is subject to change based on contract requirements.
