What Is the Story Book Tree Initiative?

The Story Book Tree Initiative connects personal stories with native trees planted throughout our community.


With each dedication, you can include:

  • A name
  • A meaningful date
  • A short message or story


Each tree features a custom plaque and is pinned on our digital Story Book Tree Map. A unique QR code allows visitors to scan and instantly view the dedication story and tree location.



It is more than planting a tree. It is planting a legacy.

How the Tree Dedication Process Works

Select Your Native Tree

Choose from our curated list of native species selected for their beauty, adaptability, and long term success in Chattanooga’s climate. If you are unsure which tree fits your location, we will guide you based on soil conditions, sunlight, and available space.

Choose the Planting Location

Trees may be planted on private residential properties, in shared community spaces, or in select public areas depending on approval and site conditions. We review each proposed location to ensure proper placement and healthy growth.

Share Your Dedication

Provide a name, meaningful date, and a short message or story. Your dedication will be displayed on a custom titanium plaque placed at the base of the tree.

Professional Installation & Digital Story Map

Our team handles proper planting and installation to support long term health. Each tree is added to the digital Story Book Tree Map and connected to its unique QR code for public viewing.
