Tree stands for life. In fact every Christmas, we put up a Christmas tree in remembrance of the Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden. A living tree memorial gift is thus certainly the most beautiful ways to express love and care to your family and friends who might have lost a loved one.
The fact of the matter is planting a memorial tree is certainly a ‘green’ way of remembering or honoring someone. Greenery is restored, Forests are filled again and special gardens are grown as you plant live young tree in remembrance of someone you have lost.
The most popular way to plant a memorial tree, is to “buy” a tree to be planted in one of our nation’s forests. Well; if you do not choose a nearby forest visiting the tree might not be possible then. Also you should put a plaque on or near the tree. Or else it won’t be possible to identify the tree that has been planted in the honor your loved one.
The major advantage of planting a memorial tree the standard way is that you do not need to take care of the tree. Sure; you can stay assured that somewhere a young tree is gradually growing in honor of your loved one.
Memorial Trees clean the soil
Trees can assist in the remediation of land that has been polluted by dangerous chemical pollutants. Trees can either store harmful pollutants or actually change the pollutant into less harmful forms. Trees can also be used to filter sewage and farm chemicals such as pesticides.
Water conservation
The instance of flash flooding has been shown to be reduced by the presence of forests. Also in areas prone to drought the addition of trees to the landscape can aid in the conservation of precious water resources. Trees slow down water runoff after periods of heavy rain falls and help to recharge underground water-holding aquifers.
Another advantage of a Tree Memorial gift is that you are helping plant a new forest. And that’s great for the environment.
For those who wish to do something in someone’s honor, it’s time to plant a memorial tree!
