This Earth Day, Huron Hospice will continue a tradition of planting more trees and helping to reduce carbon footprints.
Since 2019, Huron Hospice has planted 57 new trees in the memorial forest at Bender House. The six-acre forest can sustain up to 1,250 trees and includes a mix of deciduous and evergreen species such as White fir, Fraser fir, Sycamore, Sugar maple and many more.
All the trees planted in the memorial forest are native to Huron County. The forest also features the tranquility walking trail that is open to hospice residents, families, visitors, volunteers and the public.
You can help by planting a tree in memory of a loved one in the Memorial Forest. Those who donate to plant a tree may also participate in an annual dedication service in the forest. With a $395 donation, Huron Hospice will plant a tree and remember the donor’s loved one.
Huron Hospice issues a tax receipt for the donation. For more information and to order, visit www.huronhospice.ca
