🌳🌲 Celebrate Arbor Day with a Living Tribute! 🌲🌳

Today is more than just Arbor Day; it’s a chance to create a lasting legacy in the name of someone you love or to honor a cherished memory. Plant a tree today in their honor, and watch your tribute grow into a flourishing part of our planet. https://memorialstore.afterall.com/store/memorial-trees/

But that’s not all—for every tree you plant, we will plant another! Your act of love and remembrance will be matched by us, doubling the impact. These trees will take root in forests across North America, where our incredible partner, American Forests, is dedicated to restoring and revitalizing large forest landscapes.

🌿 Why trees? They are not just beautiful. Trees are vital for the environment, improving air quality, conserving water, preserving soil, and supporting wildlife. By planting a tree, you're contributing to a healthier, greener world.

So let’s plant together! Whether it's a dedication to a loved one or a memorial for someone missed, your tree will stand strong as a symbol of life and enduring memory. Plant a tree, plant a legacy. https://memorialstore.afterall.com/store/memorial-trees/
