The six other trees are: Six Nations Tree of Peace - eastern white pine, First World War - white oak, Korean War - bur oak, Persian Gulf War - red maple, Afghanistan - hard maple and United Nations and NATO Peacekeeping - silver maple.

The Veterans Way Memorial Park site is maintained by way of a mutual agreement with the Ferguson Forest Centre Corporation Board of Directors. In conjunction with the wishes of the Veterans Way Memorial Committee, the Ferguson Forest Centre Nursery Operations staff planted several large caliper trees and ornamentals as memorial tributes to those that have paid the supreme sacrifice.
