My mother passed away when I was 11, in 1992. My grandfather, who owned property outside of Bristol (UK), planted a forest in her memory and named it “Pam’s Wood”. He said that memories fade but that the forrest would grow higher and thicker as time went by and that even in the far future his daughter’s name would be remembered even though everybody who had ever known her had long passed away.
- growlist 7y agoWish I could do this near where I live in the UK, but even non-arable land etc. is getting stupidly expensive. Apparently this is a big unresolved issue with the recent drive to plant more trees.
- grovehaw 7y agoYou don't have to own land to plant trees. The Colne Valley Tree Society has planted more than 300 000 since the mid 60s.[0] It has made a big difference to the quality of life in the area. [0] https://colnevalleytreesociety.blogspot.com/ https://colnevalleytreesociety.blogspot.com/
