Celebrating a life

Losing someone close to you can be incredibly difficult. We hope you can find some comfort in, and celebrate their life through, the Forest.

For some, the Forest can serve as a place of solace, and reflection. A place to remember them all year round - where shafts of summer sunlight fall amongst boughs and branches, and winter frost glistens across the Forest floor.

You can ensure their memory lives on in a Forest that will be here for generations to come...

​​​​​​Plant a tree

Planting a tree in memory of your loved one creates a unique and lasting memorial. Just like people, every tree has its own ‘fingerprint’. We’ll help you select the right tree and visit the Forest to plant your tree, just for them. A tree you can visit, bearing a plaque with your own special dedication.

Tag a tree

Remember someone special with a personalised tag bearing their name, hung from one of our young but established trees. You’ll receive a certificate in the post along with the location of your tree, so that you can watch it grow in their memory.

Dedicate a tree

Dedicate a tree within one of our woodlands. Whilst unmarked, these memorial trees are planted right at the heart of the Forest. We’ll send you an e-certificate personalised with your dedication.
