Our Gift-a-Tree platform is one of our popular avenues for sponsoring trees towards our wildlife rehabilitation corridors, where we plant out a range of tree species in bio-mimicked forest patches in one of our three wildlife corridor rehabilitation projects.
This planting was a particularly emotional one – for all those who gifted trees to the forest pocket as well as for the team planting them out. It was the first time we were planting an entire forest pocket that was dedicated in memory of the passing of a loved one. 102 trees were gifted through the Gift a Tree platform in honour of Michelle Butler, and we planted them out, with her mom and dad, in our Eastbrook Wildlife Corridor.
Michelle’s loss cannot be replaced… yet knowing a forest pocket was planted out in her memory that itself will support many forms of life going forward, has brought a greater sense of peace and ease to the family.
“Michelle, may your soul rest in peace between these beautiful trees in the forest with the sound of the wind and the sea in your ears and the eagles soaring above…”
