Transform grief into environmental healing with memorial trees.
There is no simple way to process the loss of a loved one. The weight of grief can feel unbearable. Planting a living memorial tree blends the intimate ritual of honoring a loved one with positive action for the planet.
People also plant trees in honor of births, weddings, and housewarmings. Planting a tree in celebration of a birth is perhaps the most poignant of occasions because this is a gift that will grow alongside the child, year by year maturing and flourishing. With a memorial donation to The National Arbor Day Foundation, they will plant a tree in a national forest devastated by fires and other disasters.
