Honour a loved one who enjoyed spending time in nature by dedicating a tree or leafy glade in one of our woods. Whether you're visiting on a quiet morning or marking a birthday, your chosen wood can become a place to sit and reflect, and let memories grow. There are also options to add a personalised bench or post to dedications of an acre or quarter acre.

When my mother-in-law wanted to dedicate a bench to her late husband, we knew we had found the right location. Dappled sunlight, magnificent beech trees, quiet meandering paths, birdsong and... tranquillity. Somewhere to be still and remember. It is our sacred place.

Holding a funeral collection is a meaningful way for you and your loved ones to remember the person you’ve lost through a cause close to their heart. If this is something you’d like to do, we can discuss the options with you and help you set up your collection.

Thank you for considering supporting our work in memory of your loved one. Every donation helps us protect, restore and create healthy woods and trees for people and wildlife.
Choosing where to scatter a loved one’s ashes is a deeply emotional decision, and we want to support you in finding a meaningful place to do so. To protect the delicate balance of our ancient woodlands and the precious old trees within them, which are especially vulnerable, we don’t permit ash scattering in certain areas. However, we have many other beautiful and tranquil woods where you’re welcome to carefully scatter ashes, and we can help you find the right one.
If you have any questions about how you'd like to give in memory of a loved one, or about scattering ashes in our woods, please get in touch with our support services team who are on hand to offer advice and discuss your wishes.
