A Grove of trees in the Scottish Highlands
Alun Mortensen's Grove - for Alun,
Colleen and Bernadette
Alun Karl Mortensen
26th June 2018
This is a grove for Alun. He left us on the 26th June 2018 at 52.
He often told me a story about a man that wandered about planting a forest of trees. It touched him, so much.
He said he has always wanted to plant a whole forest himself. He would love this.
Help me to keep a dream alive by planting a tree in his honour.
I love to think about his spirit living here in a wild forest. Love Colleen x

Every Christmas we would gather around your fake tree with the woodland creatures u put in its branches, I wish we were doing that this year but I like to think of your grove of real trees and animals

God has a garden there's love all around.
There's healings and blessings on his glory ground.

...on each side of the river stood the Tree of Life,
bearing twelve crops of fruit,
yielding it's fruit every month.
And the leaves of the tree are for healing the nation.
Revelation 22:2.

Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow.
The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.

"With life as short as a half taken breath,
don't plant anything but love.”
- to my friends, plant a tree here,

Dearest Ali,
you once told me when struggling to breath that oxygen was the greatest gift,
well you are now gifting the planet with more trees and more oxygen,
a beautiful dream becoming reality. LOVE

Your grove of trees
The trees in this grove will be carefully planted in protected sites in the Scottish Highlands where they will create homes for wildlife and forests for the future.

Twinflowers in bloom on pine woodland floor.

Sign up to our mailing list to receive our monthly ‘Tree News’ e-newsletter and other occasional emails about volunteering, events, appeals and fundraising. It’s the perfect way to stay up to date with the latest news about the wild forest and it’s wonderful wildlife.
Please help the wee trees! We need to raise £25,000 to achieve all of our plans over the next two years.
