Lake Vyrnwy Celebration Wood

Celebrate the memory of a loved one, or a special occasion by planting a tree at Vyrnwy Forever. Planting a native tree will help us look after the wonderful habitats and species at Lake Vyrnwy too.

How it works 

The cost is £950. This includes a single tree along the scenic route to the Rhiwargor Waterfall, a dedicated post and rail enclosure, a Welsh slate tag affixed to the tree, and a Welsh slate tag keepsake. 

The tree is guaranteed for 10 years, which includes annual checks, weeding, and replacement if necessary. 

We’re here to help

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.
