A “Liberty Tree” Memorial is the perfect way to honor and continue the heritage of the Birth of Freedom in our country. Your town’s Memorial can become a place of celebration, a focus of community pride and engender a sense of common heritage and respect for Liberty and Freedom. Honor and continue the tradition of the “Sons of Liberty” in your own town with a “Liberty Tree” Memorial. The sponsorship of a “Liberty Tree” Memorial is an ideal project for the Boy Scouts who are celebrating the 100th Anniversary of their founding. Community-based funding and eager participation of a diverse group of citizens assures a successful “Liberty Tree” Memorial which everybody can rally around.

HOW TO ORGANIZE A LIBERTY TREE MEMORIAL IN YOUR TOWN

1. Elm Research Institute will obtain a letter of agreement from the town wishing to establish a "Liberty Tree” Memorial.
2. Upon receipt of the agreement from the town, ERI will ask a local Boy Scout troop to sponsor the “Liberty Tree” Memorial
3. ERI will send a complete Memorial packet - which includes fund raising ideas, sample press releases, how to organize the ceremony, Liberty Elm planting instructions, etc.
4. After fund raising is complete, Scout troop will send a check payable to ERI to insure timely shipment of all “Liberty Tree” Memorial items. (Request a Liberty Tree Memorial brochure for full details or visit www.elmresearch.org)
5. During the Planting Day Ceremony a local dignitary, such as the mayor, will host the event, dedicate the tree and “Liberty Tree” Memorial plaque and read aloud Thomas Paine’s poem, “Liberty Tree”.

Most important, he will also dedicate the Donor’s Plaque commemorating the 100th Anniversary of the founding of the Boy Scouts and identifying the troop as Sponsor and thanking them for establishing the new landmark in their town.

The Liberty Tree Memorial plaque tells the tory of the Sons of Liberty and our country's freedom.
