Can I plant a memory tree in Golden Gate Park?

Question:
I would like to plant a tree in a memory of my dear friend, who has pasted away. Would you please let me know if I can donate a tree to the park.

Answer:
First, I would like to say that I am sorry for your loss. I will have to track down the appropriate person who can answer this question for me. I do know that planting the wrong type of tree can have consequences to the environment of a park. The location of the planting is also important. When I find the answer to your question, I will get back to you.

Followup Answer
Yes, you can donate or plant a tree in memory or dedication of a loved one/friend. I’ve spoken with the San Francisco Rec and Parks Department, and they have informed me that the San Francisco Parks Trust works with people to achieve this. The contact number is 415-750-5105.
