You may create a small garden around your tree of approximately 3 feet (91 cms) in diameter.  

Tip:  Avoid digging any deeper than 5 inches (12 cms) as you will damage the roots of your tree.

Tip:  Heaping soil up against the trunk of the tree will rot the trunk and may kill your tree.

Tip:  Do not remove the soil as this allows the water to puddle, potentially damaging the tree.

Only ONE* small ornament may be placed by the tree.  We will remove excess items. (height guide 20cm maximum)  

You are welcome to plant bulbs around the tree, taking care to avoid the roots.

Yes, well behaved dogs are welcome but must be kept on a lead at all times.  Please clear up after them and please do not let them disturb the wildlife or other visitors.

Such is nature's way that inevitably a small percentage of trees will fail over the years.​​​​​​​  

If your tree should fail, please advise us.

If this occurs within 5 years of sponsorship, your tree will be replaced free of charge.

After five years there will be a replacement charge of £156. *Aug 2023 

Where possible we will replace your tree in it's original position.  However, this will depend upon the growth of the surrounding trees' and the availability of natural light to allow a young tree to grow. Therefore it may be necessary to ask you to choose a new tree in a different area. Any trees which require replacing will be done so during the winter months.

Alternatively you can choose to have your plaque added to our plaque wall as a permanent dedication, free of charge, or the plaque can remain in place, along with a wooden tree stake to mark the original tree position.

We reserve the right to remove any dead or dangerous trees.  We will do our best to contact the sponsor in such circumstances.

Should your tree fail, we encourage you to keep on enjoying Heritage Wood and view the wood as a whole as your continuing dedication.

The wood is sectioned and labelled into different letters.   Please follow this LINK for a MAP to guide you

A mature leafy tree produces as much oxygen in a season as 10 people inhale in a year.

One acre of trees annually consumes the amount of carbon dioxide equivalent to that produced by driving an average car for 26,000 miles. That same acre of trees also produces enough oxygen for 18 people to breathe for a year
