Whilst having the pleasure of your company on our special day is more than enough, we recognise that some of you would like to give a gift to mark our upcoming nuptials!

Rather than traditional gifts we are asking you to make a donation to a local environmental charity, the Heart of England Forest.

For those of you who don’t know this beautiful native broadleaf woodland, it is close to Stratford-upon-Avon in the heart of England so not far from our home and where our wedding will be taking place.

The charity’s vision is to create 30,000 acres of contiguous forest to benefit the environment, wildlife and people for hundreds of years to come. The mosaic of habitats being created helps to mitigate climate change, enables wildlife to thrive and provides a haven for people to visit to benefit their health, happiness and wellbeing. For many of us, getting outdoors has never been more important and we have found a new appreciation of the tranquillity and breathing space to be found amongst trees.

An amazing 1.9 million trees have been planted so far and your kind donations today will go towards the planting of new trees near Binton, Warwickshire this coming planting season, starting in November. 

If you wish to visit the Heart of England Forest and experience the magic for yourselves, please go to www.heartofenglandforest.com
