Creating a woodland that can grow and flourish is a meaningful way to honour them and leave a legacy that lives on.

FAQs
An In Memory, remembrance, sympathy or memorial tree is chosen to be planted as part of a larger woodland to commemorate loved ones no longer with us. There are often many varieties of trees to choose from, and they arrive in the form of a sapling, which are then planted by professional teams and nurtured to thrive.
Physical trees won’t be sent to you before planting, but you’ll be invited to visit the woodland and see your commemorative plaque with your chosen message that will be available to be seen by those who want to visit.
Our collaboration with The National Forest encourages a donation in exchange for tree planting to help keep our services flying.
We have three In Memory tree packages with different recommended donations for each.
- Sycamore package, £50
- Silver package, £200
- Gold package, £2,000
You can find full details on our packages here.
These donations help us pay for the items included in each package, and enable us to continue the lifesaving services we provide on a daily basis.

The National Forest is a 200-square-mile area covering parts of Derbyshire and Leicestershire. It is a national exemplar of what can be achieved through tree planting; more than 8.5 million have been planted in the last 26 years.
Our remembrance woodland forms part of this fantastic project, and together, we are keeping memories flying. So you know your loved one’s memory will live on.
Please note that the site is unfortunately not easy to visit for those with limited mobility and the woodland is not accessible for wheelchair users due to it being a natural site with no surfaced paths. However, should anyone with restricted mobility wish to visit, please do get in touch with us in advance and we will do our best to accommodate a comfortable visit.
