Adopt a Tree—a Living Legacy
Adopting a tree on Luther’s campus is a fitting way to commemorate loved ones, or honor someone, with a living legacy that will beautify the campus for future generations of students.
Please see the listing below of trees available for adoption, photos, and locations on the Luther campus. If you’re interested in adopting a tree on the Luther College campus, read our adoptable tree policy, and complete the adoptable tree request form. This space will continue to be updated as new trees become available!
