The Forest of Memories

During the Pandemic we have come together as a society to protect each other from physical harm, from the Coronavirus. We must now consider our nation's emotional and mental wellness. Today is the time when we need to begin to collectively act to support the bereaved and demonstrate our compassion towards those whose lives have been impacted because of Covid-19. That is why we are growing a network of Forest of Memories in the UK. We will plant, at a minimum, a tree for every life lost in the UK because of Covid-19. Each Forest of Memories will be created on themes that will create ways to remember everyone impacted by the pandemic, help fight climate change and benefit UK biodiversity. The Forests will also become an educational, recreational, and cultural resource for local communities. Forests will be a fitting tribute of remembrance. They will create a positive focus on recovery, help the bereaved heal, and be a symbol of hope and regrowth for all. The Forests of Memories will be true legacies for our society, legacies that create something good from the ashes of these tragic times.
