Planting information
Dedicated trees and groves of trees planted to restore the Caledonian Forest in the Scottish Highlands
If you have dedicated a tree or requested a grove of trees to celebrate a birth, a wedding, or another occasion, or in memory of a loved one, you will find the details of the species planted and the planting site below. Please look accordingly under the year and the planting season (spring or autumn) referred to in the cover letter you received with your certificate (for dedicated trees) or in the confirmation you received when your grove was established.
If you would like to get involved with planting trees and other forest restoration work, why not join one of our Conservation Holidays? Further results of our work can be viewed here.
