For each $300 tax-deductible contribution to the fund, a tree is planted and maintained in publicly owned land in Knoxville or Knox County, wherever there is the greatest need, be it a park, an open spaces or streetscape.

All Legacy Tree Fund donors receive a specially commissioned print acknowledging their gift to the community. Smaller donations go to extending the initial period of tree care and maintenance.

For its 50th anniversary, CRJA worked closely with the city of Knoxville staff to develop specific guidelines and specifications for Legacy Trees. A demonstration planting was also performed to show an approach to thoughtful tree selection, enhanced soil profile and increased soil volume for tree root development.
