We do prefer you to select the plaque message, recipients like the thoughtfulness of a personalised message and it allows us to have the plaque ordered and ready for when the recipient is ready to plant.
Of course, and we will send you a photo by email and then your certificate and location map by Royal Mail so you can hopefully visit it when you are able.
Young trees are remarkably resilient and well adapted to establishing themselves. During hot weather, fresh leaves can become scorched. This may affect the tree's appearance temporarily but is unlikely to cause lasting damage, and most saplings recover naturally.
Only during prolonged periods of exceptionally dry weather may occasional watering be beneficial. If you do water, apply it slowly at the base of the tree in the early morning or evening, when less water is lost through evaporation. Avoid watering the leaves, as this can increase the risk of scorching. Overwatering can also discourage trees from developing the deep root systems they need to become healthy, self-sustaining woodland trees.
Our dedicated planting area is at Eddie's Wood, near Dorsington. On your planting day, you'll be able to choose the exact location for your tree within the current planting area, with guidance from one of our Forest Rangers.
Certainly! Well behaved dogs on leads are very welcome to join you on the day.
