A Grove of trees in the Scottish Highlands
Dora's Grove
Dora Allen Elliot
Dora Allen Elliot 28 MARCH 1930 - 22 OCTOBER 2017
Dora's interest in native Scottish trees first became apparent during the famous "Plant a Tree in 73"
Government-sponsored campaign. Her enthusiasm was infectious and led to the planting of many trees
by Dora and her family in 1973, and in the years to come. She later became a life member of Trees for Life
and this grove is a wonderful way of continuing her legacy and celebrating her life.
87 trees planted in Dora's Grove to celebrate the 87 wonderful years of her life!
Donated by John Elliot, son, and Mags (Margaret) Elliot, daughter.

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.
