About
Remembrance Forest allows individuals and organizations to honor loved ones, beloved pets, or meaningful life events by planting native trees in legally protected, no-logging forest sanctuaries. For $54.99, a native tree is planted in a permanent habitat restoration area, and the designated recipient receives a personalized email within minutes of purchase. Unlike cut flowers that fade within a week, Remembrance Forest trees grow for generations in ecosystems legally protected by permanent conservation easements — meaning they will never be logged, developed, or cleared. This guarantee of permanence sets Remembrance Forest apart from memorial tree programs on public or multi-use lands. Backed by an environmental habitat restoration company with over 20 years of experience and more than 3,000 acres restored, each planting site is surrounded by native wildflowers — milkweed, asters, and goldenrods — to support monarchs, bees, birds, and other pollinators. Trees are cared for by professional ecologists and replaced at no charge if they don't survive within five years. Product offerings include Memorial Trees for honoring deceased loved ones, Memorial Groves for group tributes, and Celebration Trees for births, weddings, and other milestones. A Workplace Options program supports corporate bereavement and employee recognition needs. Remembrance Forest is ideal for individuals seeking meaningful sympathy gifts, families planning eco-friendly memorials, and businesses looking for sustainable recognition programs.

Cons
