Wild boar rooting for food. By reducing the dominance of bracken, they give other plant species a chance to grow.

Celebration Groves

Groves of trees planted to celebrate special people and occasions.

A grove of trees is a lasting gift. Here are groves which have been set up via Trees for Life; click on the name of a grove for more information or to make a donation to that grove.
