“I think of it as a living memorial for the person who has passed. it gives the people who are left behind a beautiful living place to visit, to remember their loved ones. I try to choose a state that they were born in, if that is not available, I choose some whose I think they might like.”
“When I lose someone dear to me, I prefer having trees planted in their honor, flowers are lovely but they die too soon. A tree is a living symbol that will grow and last forever in that person's honor.”
“Perfect gesture for a friend who had a miscarriage. They are outdoorsy people and in I love that Trees for Change has a map so that they can go visit in memory of their child.”
“The Memorial Grove of ten trees to be planted in a U.S. National Forest has meant a great deal to our grieving family in memory of their deceased family member. They were pleased and deeply grateful for the beautiful plaque honoring their loved one and commented that she would have been pleased that such a wonderful gift of nature would be made in her memory. Thank you, Trees for a Change, for making such a life-sustaining gift possible through your program.”
