Morning View - Central Park Tree Plaques

I came across this park worker installing some new paving stones noting gifts to the Central Park Conservancy's tree endowment fund. Reading the plaques is like a short history in recent events, as some of the gifts are made in the names of disaster victims: 9/11, Japan's earthquake, the 2004 tsunami, etc. Many of the park's oldest trees were destroyed in a freak 2011 wind storm, but you've got to give big to get a plaque.
