AMDG THINKINGFAITH VOCATIONS THE WAY WHAT'S ON HOME DONATE TO PLANT THE NEW ARBORETUM AT ST BEUNO'S Planting a tree is one of the most positive acts that a person can achieve in their lifetime. A tree planted now not only makes an immediate and significant contribution to the environment, conservation and wildlife, it also provides a wonderful gift for those who come after us and a lasting legacy to our own time on earth. Over the course of the next two years it is planned that more than 1,000 trees and ornamental shrubs will be planted within a new Arboretum at St Beuno’s. The Arboretum has been designed by forestry and garden consultant Tony Russell (www.gardenstovisit.net) and will feature both native and exotic trees, including some which are considered to be amongst the most beautiful trees in the world. We would like as many people as possible to be involved with this wonderful project and so are offering you the opportunity to make a personal donation for a tree or shrub like one in the selection below. The suggested donation price alongside each tree includes the purchase and planting of the tree and its care and maintenance until it is established. A unique number in the form of a discreet metal disc will be attached to each tree and this number, along with the name of the tree and the donor’s name will be recorded in the St Beuno’s Arboretum Register, which will be kept at St Beuno’s. You are very welcome to make a donation for one tree or for several trees, the choice is entirely yours. Please also know that ANY amount you give will go towards this project - trees, shrubs, hedging, flowers! No gift is too small to make a big impact, so thank you in advance! Once you have made your donation, please email info@beunos.com to let us know which tree(s) you wish to sponsor.
