The Fertility Forest

If you'd like to do something positive about your experiences of infertility or miscarriage, dedicating a tree in the Fertility Forest may be just the right thing. You will be donating money to charity, helping the environment and preserving precious woodland, whilst also leaving a tangible memory of what you've been through.

The Woodland Trust has just signed an exciting new contract with Infertility Network UK to join forces to plant the first ever Fertility Forest. The Woodland Trust has set aside land on the Hucking Estate in Kent for the project, and anyone who has had a brush with infertility can dedicate a tree at the site.

You may wish to dedicate a tree to commemorate a loss, or as a wish for the future. It may be marking the decision to embrace a life without children, or to celebrate a long-awaited arrival. Relatives or friends may also choose to dedicate a tree in the forest.

The scheme is open for dedications now, and will be officially launched at a planting event in November. If you'd like to find out more, take a look at the webpages here.
