Planted Groves and dedicated trees
Groves of trees planted by Trees for Life in the Scottish Highlands
to celebrate a birth, wedding or other occasion,
or in memory of a loved one.
If you have dedicated a tree, or participated in a grove of trees, you will find the details of the planting site here. Here is more information about visiting Corrimony.
If you would like to get involved with planting trees or other forest restoration work, why not join one of our Conservation Holidays? The Results of our work page tells you some more about trees we have planted, and areas we have protected for natural regeneration to take place.
From Spring 2010 all dedicated and grove trees will be planted on the Dundreggan Estate. If you wish to visit a grove, this can be arranged with the estate manager.

Autumn 2007 and Spring 2008: RSPB Corrimony
Groves and dedicated trees were planted on the RSPB Reserve at Corrimony, where the species planted were rowan and birch.
If you are planning on visiting the area where your tree is planted please contact the office beforehand and we will pass your details onto the RSPB warden at Corrimony, who will then contact you directly regarding your visit to the Reserve. You should be aware the site is situated in a remote location, which will require hillwalking over rough terrain in all weather conditions. Please note that the dead trees on the site are the result of a fire about 10 years ago, which destroyed a young plantation of non native trees.
