Memorial trees at Celebration Woods
RSPB Celebration Woods are special places. They're dedicated memorial tree planting spaces in nature where you can commemorate a loved one by creating a living, lasting tribute to them by planting a tree. You can inter ashes under your tree or choose a species of tree that will support your loved one's favourite wildlife for years to come.
There are now three Celebration Woods on our RSPB reserves – one in the Peak District, another in the Lake District and a third in Wales. All three are peaceful settings to have a tree planted in memory of someone, or to mark a celebration, that will only become more beautiful with time.
Dove Stone - Peak District National Park
Dove Stone's Celebration Wood is set within the atmospheric moorland and iconic landscape of the Peak District National Park. Just on the edge of a reservoir, it offers sweeping views across the water and the valley beyond. As attractive to wildlife as it is to people, this is the perfect spot to sit and remember a loved one.
Haweswater - Lake District National Park
Haweswater's Celebration Wood rubs shoulders with mossy ancient woodland of Naddle Forest. This wild corner of the eastern Lake District UNESCO World Heritage Site is a beautiful, peaceful place for quiet reflection and connection with nature.
Efyrnwy am Byth – Vyrnwy Forever
The Lake Vyrnwy Celebration Wood is located near the scenic route to Rhiwargor Waterfall in the heart of the Berwyn Mountains. As well as being a haven for wildlife, this peaceful reservoir holds special connections for many.
In addition to celebrating a life or occasion, planting trees here contributes to restoring habitats, saving species and helping the future of the climate at Lake Vyrnwy. It offers an opportunity for you to become part of a lasting environmental legacy and develop a special connection with this picturesque landscape.
