Memorial Forest

Initials Carved in a Tree 

Wedding gift subscription 5, 10, 25 and Lifetime Years -

With a minimum of a 5-year subscription, your gift recipient and their spouse's initials  will be carved into a mature white birch tree by a professional tree carver in a privately owned and protected forest, shepherded lovingly by a hermit who lives in a home nearby.

Every month you get a "Hermit's update" letter customized to your tree, mailed to your address or choose to have it sent via email. The letter includes Weather updates, photographs from the area, a phot0 of your individual tree, any notes on its condition and any special callouts to important anniversaries in nearby trees, "Happy Happy 50th Anniversary JD&CT!"

At every subscription end, gift recipients are allowed to choose to continue their subscription, or to HARVEST their tree whereby a professional chainsaw artist removes your signature engraving. They will pack it safely and mail it to your home absolutely free of charge.

Please note; the forests are prone to fire and are often also susceptible to natural enemies and the vagaries of climate change.  For that reason, absolutely no guarantees can be given, but all attempts will be made to secure your custom engraving if any destruction should befall your host Memory Tree.

Included in the 25 year and lifetime memberships is an exceedingly rare opportunity to spend a weekend in the hermit house, and to visit the trees in person.  This can be set up any time of the life of the plan. Should any tragedy befall the wedded bliss, the original purchaser gets the say in how the tree is maintained or harvested.
