Adopt a Cherry Tree

This page represents all of the Alzheimer’s ambassadors, advocates, volunteers and supporters. In memory of our loved ones we have lost to the disease, and in honor of all those living with Alzheimer’s and other dementias 💜 #EndAlz

Adopt a cherry tree today! The cherry trees need your help to ensure they will bloom for generations to come. The cherry trees on the Tidal Basin need care and tending year-round to combat the effects of advanced age, the changing climate, foot traffic of millions of visitors and daily flooding. 

By adopting a cherry tree, a cherry blossom or a cherry bud, your gift will support the care of the trees year-round and help protect this grand Washington tradition. The cherry trees on the Tidal Basin need care and tending year round. 

The iconic trees on the Tidal Basin, a beautiful but fragile wetland ecosystem, require year-round care and tending to bloom. The changing climate and rising sea-level of the Tidal Basin, coupled with damage from weather and ever-increasing foot traffic pose a growing threat to health of the trees. The Trust for the National Mall is proud to partner with the National Park Service and friends like you to steward the trees. 

Join our mission on the National Mall with a gift to support the Adopt a Cherry Tree Campaign today.
