Special remembrance

Remembering together

Dedicated areas of the woodland for those who served, those who cared for others, and the communities and organisations who wish to remember together.

Military memorials

For those who served, remembered in quiet order along avenues inspired by the cemeteries of Normandy.

Emergency-service memorials

For paramedics, firefighters, police officers, lifeboat crews and all who cared for others.

Community remembrance

A place for a village, town or community to remember together.

Groups, organisations and employers

For organisations that would like to remember colleagues, members or friends.

Living legacy and commemorative planting

Trees planted to mark an anniversary, a milestone or a shared commitment.

Collective areas

Remembered side by side, in quiet order.

Inspired by Normandy, special remembrance areas bring trees together in aligned rows, with the same immaculate care as the whole woodland.

How it works

Planning a special remembrance

Every special remembrance is planned personally with you, whether for one person or for many.

  1. Talk to us

    Tell us who you would like to remember, and how.

  2. Plan the area and dedication

    We will suggest a place in the woodland, the trees and the wording.

  3. A dedication at the woodland

    As simple or as ceremonial as you would like.

Regimental, service and official insignia can only be used with the appropriate permission. We will gladly help you with this as part of planning.

Whenever you are ready, we are here

Speak to one of us by phone, ask us to call you back, or arrange a telephone or video conversation at a time that suits you. There is never any obligation.

Visits to the woodland will be available when our first woodland opens.
