Celebration Wood

If you’re looking for a way to commemorate a special life event such as an anniversary, birth, wedding or engagement then why not sponsor a tree in Celebration Wood, a brand new area of Dean Castle Country Park which will be planted with a range of native tree varieties late 2025 / early 2026.
Dedicate a tree and breathe new life into this area of the park, helping us to create a beautiful native woodland which will provide natural regeneration in years to come, providing shelter and sustenance for wildlife and better conditions for other plant species to thrive.
You can choose to sponsor a Rowan, Alder, Aspen, Holly, Birch, Hazel, Willow, Elm, Oak or Crab Apple and you can also leave a dedication at the time of purchase
(Enter your 60 character dedication under "Additional Details" during the checkout process . You will see the "Additional Details" section once you have added the item to your basket and logged in to your account) 

Your sponsorship will help us plant, nurture and protect this woodland however, we cannot match your dedication message to a specific tree or tag individual trees. Instead your dedication will be displayed on interpretation boards in the woodland and you will also be invited to a tree planting event which will take place from Nov 2025 - Feb 2026.

Celebrate your life events in this unique way as well as helping us to create and nurture a beautiful new woodland to be enjoyed for many generations to come.
