Celebrating
New Life!
|
"...today
it is the duty of every thinking being to live, and to serve not only
his own day and generation, but also generations unborn by helping to
restore and maintain the green glory of the forests of the earth."
Richard St. Barbe Baker
What could
be a better way to celebrate new life than by giving the living legacy
of a restored wild forest? Now you can have a dedicated grove of trees
for your special new family addition. The trees will never be cut down
and we'll even give you the grid reference so you can visit your grove
and see them grow.
How to set up
Take a look at the existing grove pages, and send us details of what you'd like; then we'll set up the grove.
Send us an email at trees@findhorn.org with the subject line
'Baby Grove Request', with:
- The text you'd like on your page
- A lovely colour photo of your wee one, in JPEG format (optional)
- The date of the birth/Christening
- Baby's first name and surname
- Your name
- YOUR contact address and phone number (these will not appear on the page)
One photo per grove please. It would be very helpful if you could email the photo as an attachment along with
the grove request. This enables us to get your grove up quickly and easily. The exact size and shape will depend
on the photograph, but it will generally be resized to no larger than approximately 300 x 400 pixels. Please send
images no larger than 1mb. If you would like specific photos from this website included on your grove, please
include in your email either their filenames, or the URL of the page they were on.
Setting up the grove and planting the first eight trees is £50. Each additional £5 donated towards the
grove allows us to plant another tree. The initial payment (min. £50) is due when your grove has been set up. You can
pay online using the button on the grove page. The grove page will be removed if the initial payment is not made within
10 days of the grove being set up.
Each grove is unique, so please contact us if you have any queries.
What Happens Next
Please allow up to 10 days to set up your grove. We will then email you to let you know when it's up
and give you the URL so you and your friends can find it easily. We'll then keep the page updated with
the names of people who have made a donation, the total amount raised by the grove, and how many trees the grove consists of.
Your Grove Gift Certificate
You may choose to have a certificate created for your grove. If you would like this, we will post it to
you at a date of your choice.

You can create a grove for a
wedding, to mark the birth of a
baby, as a living
memorial, or to
celebrate events such as birthdays and anniversaries.
Alternatively, you can dedicate a tree as a gift.
