Who plants the trees?
All planting is done by third party non-profit reforestation organizations and groups across the country, and even
overseas. Trees Remember does not contract with US government agencies, but rather, through our business
model, we support and perform unaffiliated marketing of their reforestation projects. We facilitate orders for them
and handle the consumer interface. They do the actual planting, according to their own initiatives, programs, and
policies. These third party organizations have planted literally millions of trees, and have been planting trees over a
span of decades for the greater good of the planet.
Where will my tree(s) be planted? Can I visit it?
Your tree(s) will be planted on public land, in a national forest, in an area where the US Forest Service and the
reforestation group deem it most beneficial to plant. While it is only natural to want to have a "local" planting, quite
frankly, there are places on the planet which need new growth far, far more than others. We believe it is a more
generous gift to plant trees in these ravaged areas, rather than where it is simply "convenient". We encourage our
customers to take this long view when giving their gifts, and trust the planting teams to plant their trees where
they will do the most good.
Does my tree have any sort of identification on it?
The non-profit groups who do the planting, do not have the time or resources to track each tree they plant. More to
the point, these programs are designed to plant trees in areas where human traffic is sparse, so they have a better
chance to take root and prosper, yielding a greater benefit to us all. An identification program would sap precious
resources (time and money) needed for planting the trees themselves.
What is the difference between "Honoree" and "Recipient" and "Giver"?
The "Honoree" is the person in whose name the tree is being dedicated. The "Recipient" is the party to which the
acknowledgement card and personalized messages are sent. The "Giver" is the person purchasing this gift for the
Recipient.
Exactly what does the Recipient get?
The Recipient receives an elegant Acknowledgement Card in a 100% recycled cardstock frame, (which is quite
suitable for display if they so choose). The frame features a linen weave texture, double embossed black foil
border, rough deckled edges, and a small Eternity Tree charm, to serve as a subtle physical reminder of the
dedication and memory associated with it. In addition, if the Giver elects to include a personalized message, a small
fold-over card is included with that message inside. All materials are shipped in 100% recycled rigid mailers, to
assure their safe arrival regardless of any rough handling by the postal department.
Can trees be dedicated to pets who have passed away?
Absolutely. It is quite common. See our Pet Memorials page.
Why should I use The Trees Remember?
The main reason we exist is to generate interest in reforestation by making the giving of tree dedications fast,
simple, and most importantly, ELEGANT and PERSONALIZED. The organizations we work with do not give you all the
opportunities to personalize your gift, or present it as elegantly, as we can. As an example, other parties offer only
a form letter, so your card says what they want it to say, not what you do. We include an elegant personal note, in
addition to the acknowledgement card, which lets you express your own feelings to the gift recipient, in your own
words. It seems like a small detail, but it is a huge difference, as these cards make your gift truly a gift from the
heart, and provide an opportunity for you to say what you alone truly feel. Our product also arrives in a rigid mailer,
not a flimsy envelope, so the condition of your gift, is assured, even if the mail man is having a bad day. There are
other reasons, but simply put, we add physical and emotional value to the giving and receiving experience which is
unavailable through other parties.
How long after I order them are the trees planted?
All planting is done by certified, national third party non-profit organizations. Planting times and locations are
entirely up to them, according to need and their own particular contractual obligations with the US Forest Service.
Due to weather, planting season, labor supply, and/or other factors, some trees in National Forests may be bought
in bulk, and may even have already been planted in anticipation of future orders.
How long after I order will the card package be mailed?
We try very hard to have a turnaround time of 48 hours or less, with most cards being created and mailed out
usually the very next business day. In some instances where we detect conflicting or erroneous information on an
order form, we will take the time to contact the purchaser for clarification. This sometimes adds to the turnaround
time, but is worth any small delay in order to make certain the gift goes out exactly as our customers intend.
