A tree for Christmas

If you're stuck for a last-minute Christmas present, you may want to consider dedicating a tree in the Fertility Forest.

The Fertility Forest is a joint venture between the Woodland Trust and Infertility Network UK, and anyone who has had any kind of brush with infertility is welcome to dedicate a tree in an area set aside on the Hucking Estate near Maidstone in Kent. It costs just £25 to dedicate a tree, and is open to everyone whether you are marking the decision to celebrate a new way of life without children, remembering a pregnancy loss or making a wish for the future. Others choose to dedicate trees to celebrate the arrival of long-awaited children, or grandchildren.

You can pay for a tree online and write your own dedication. There are more details on the Infertility Network UK website at www.infertilitynetworkuk.com

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.
