A-gift-that-grows-with-your-memories

Celebrate life’s milestones with sustainable gifts. Plant a tree for birthdays, weddings, graduations, or memorials, creating lasting value.

Most gifts are unwrapped, used, and slowly forgotten. But what if the gift could grow alongside the memories? A tree from EcoTree is a gift that doesn't just remain static; it continues to grow. It tracks life through first steps, major milestones, and even subsequent generations.

Imagine being able to look at a tree in a forest and say, ‘We planted that when you were born,’ or ‘That was the gift from our wedding day.’ It's not just a gift, but a living symbol that something good takes time to develop.

5 ways to celebrate life's milestones – and those of the tree:

For a newborn

Celebrate the arrival of a new life with a tree planted when a child is born. Imagine the joy of watching the tree grow and thrive as the child develops. Every year, when you visit your tree, you will be able to witness how both the child and the tree are changing into a beautiful, living timeline that symbolises growth, strength, and a deep connection to nature. It is a gift that lasts and creates unforgettable memories.

Confirmation or christening

Confirmation or a christening marks the transition to adulthood, and a tree is the perfect gift to symbolise this new phase. A young tree planted on the occasion of confirmation stands as strong and full of potential as the adolescent does on this important day.
In the years to come, the tree will grow bigger and stronger, serving as a tangible and living reminder of a defining moment in life – a reminder of the choices made and the dreams to be pursued.

Weddings & anniversaries

Love is like a tree that is planted and nurtured to grow strong and deeply rooted. A tree planted on the occasion of a wedding or anniversary symbolises the roots of love that grow stronger with each passing year, just as the couple's bond grows stronger. In 25 years, when you celebrate your 25th wedding anniversary, the tree will stand as a majestic and living anniversary card, a beautiful testimony to a love that has stood the test of time, and a reminder of the many years together and the adventures to come.

Exams & graduation

An exam or graduation is the culmination of hard work, dedication, and perseverance. Planting a tree on this occasion is proof that hard work bears fruit, just as the tree's crown will one day develop into a sustainable tree and contribute economic value. It is a symbolic gift that recognises the student's achievement and reminds them that the knowledge and skills they have acquired will grow and create value in the future, both personally and professionally.

Memorial gift

In the midst of grief, a tree can offer comfort and a place for reflection. Planting a tree as a memorial gift creates a living memorial, a place in nature where memories live and where there is always life around what you want to remember. The tree will grow and flourish, symbolising the continuing cycle of life and the love that connects us to those we have lost. It is a beautiful and meaningful way to honour a life and find peace in the eternal beauty of nature.

About the tree gift:

You choose the type of tree (e.g., Oak, Birch, Pine) and the forest (Orø-Margrete Forest, Thisted Forest, or Den Gamle Grus Forest in Nysum). EcoTree plants and cares for the tree for many years, and the recipient can follow its progress via an online platform with photos, data, and status updates. When the tree is mature, it is sustainably felled, and the entire sale price goes to the owner.
