Memorial trees are a lasting way to celebrate the life of a loved one, or a special occasion, and give back to nature.
You can plant a tree in memory with a plaque, and will be offered two unique markers inscribed with a short message of your choosing. One stays with the tree, the other is yours to keep.
If you’re unable to attend the planting in person, we’ll email a photograph of your tree and post your second tree marker.
RSPB Celebration Woods are special places. They're dedicated memorial tree planting spaces in nature where you can celebrate a life’s big occasion (Birthdays, Births, Anniversaries, etc.) or commemorate a loved one by creating a living, lasting tribute to them by planting a tree.
At some of our sites, when planting a tree in memory you can also inter ashes next to your tree of choice that will support your loved one's favourite wildlife for years to come.
There are now three Celebration Woods on our RSPB reserves – one in the Peak District, another in the Lake District and the third in Wales. All three are peaceful settings to have a tree planted to mark a celebration or in memory of someone, that will only become more beautiful with time.
Dove Stone's Celebration Wood is set within the atmospheric moorland and iconic landscape of the Peak District National Park. Just on the edge of a reservoir, it offers sweeping views across the water and the valley beyond. As attractive to wildlife as it is to people, this is the perfect spot to sit and remember a loved one.
What better way to commemorate a loved one than by dedicating a corner of England’s woodland to their memory?
Haweswater's Celebration Wood rubs shoulders with mossy ancient woodland of Naddle Forest. This wild corner of the eastern Lake District UNESCO World Heritage Site is a beautiful, peaceful place for quiet reflection and connection with nature.
Whether marking a special occasion or in memory of a life, every tree planted in Celebration Wood has a story.
The Lake Vyrnwy Celebration Wood is located near the scenic route to Rhiwargor Waterfall in the heart of the Berwyn Mountains. As well as being a haven for wildlife, this peaceful reservoir holds special connections for many.
In addition to celebrating a life or occasion, planting trees here contributes to restoring habitats, saving species and helping the future of the climate at Lake Vyrnwy. It offers an opportunity for you to become part of a lasting environmental legacy and develop a special connection with this picturesque landscape.
Celebrate the memory of a loved one, or a special occasion by planting a tree at Vyrnwy Forever.
