Dedicating a tree in our beautiful valley is simple to do and a great way to celebrate a life.

The process takes three steps:

1. Give us a call or visit to choose which tree you would like.
Considering which variety of tree to dedicate is a personal choice.  We have a range of eight varieties. 

Ash
Common Oak
Field Maple
Small Leaved Lime
Beech
Copper Beech
Walnut
Horse Chestnut

2. Fill out a short form letting us know your details and details of the message that you would like by the tree.

We will prepare a plaque, with a short inscription of your choice, to put by your tree and send you a certificate of dedication.  At this stage, we also make a contribution to the “Trees for Life” charity, supporting people and the environment in developing countries. (See our webpage sustainable world)

3. On return of your form and payment we will, arrange the with you the dedication of your tree.

We are aware that many people pay huge amounts of money to celebrate or remember a life.  We are also aware that it can be very cheap to make some types of dedication. 

We ask for £195 per tree dedicated.

Because of the limited supply of land we will only dedicate a maximum of 200 trees per year.  Please call Keith on 01730 823134 to discuss availability of which varieties.

Facilities & Rules

Your tree will be maintained for life, including free replacement if it does not survive it’s formative years.

We keep the woodland simple and natural. We therefore do not allow cut flowers or wreaths.  You are welcome to plant wildflowers or bulbs of English origin around your tree.  Please ask us for authorization.

Next to the wood, we have a lodge, where you can buy refreshments and host a small ceremony if you wish.

We have parking, picnic tables and toilets (including disabled) for your use.

Dogs must be kept on leads in the wood and around the lake. However there are many good circular walks that you can start from the car park, where you can let them have a run.

You are welcome to walk around the lakes, but care must be taken when walking behind anglers, who are casting
