The Forest of Memories is a campaign to bring people together to support the planting of Memorial Forest. It will provide a way to help people remember those they have lost, specifically because of Covid19, and also celebrate the strength of human spirit that our nation has shown when coming together in these times of trouble and grief to overcome adversity.
We believe that in planting a The Forest of Memories it will create a fitting and lasting tribute in a way that will also benefit future generations, be a space of remembrance and celebration, a space to be enjoyed by all and combat climate change - the other great challenge of our time.
Because of Covid19, there are people who did not get a chance to say goodbye to loved ones, families who could not mourn together, people who didn’t visit sick relatives to support them in times of need.
But, we have also seen ordinary people doing remarkable things, often putting their own lives at risk to help others. Nurses, Doctors, food workers, postal staff, Carers, and more have all put themselves in the front line to save lives and help others. There are also those who have performed selfless acts to support loved ones, neighbours, or their community in times of need. None of these people asked to be heroes, or did things for glory, but by doing what they did they helped us all in times of need.
Covid19 Memorial Forest Fund will help the people of our nation come together to plant a memorial forest as a lasting tribute to remember and celebrate these ordinary people who are the heroes of our historic times.
By helping to build a Covid19 Memorial Forest you can leave a lasting memorial in a way that also benefits future generations. Both as a space to enjoy by generations to come, but also to help combat climate change, the other great challenge of our time.
