Life tree forest Kerkrade

A special moment deserves a special keepsake.

In the Life Tree Forest Kerkrade, you can adopt a tree as a memento of a special event. For example as a father, mother or grandparents of a newborn child. Or if you recently married. But also, for example, as a reminder of someone who has passed away.
The Tree of Life offers a memory that lives on. A special memento that grows and blossoms anew every year. The Forest of Life Trees, the most beautiful place for a living memory!

The tree of life is a symbol of eternal life: sprouting in spring, lush growth in summer, fruit and decay in autumn and rest during winter. The circle is, year after year, complete. Without beginning and without end.

Planting a Life Tree Forest in Kerkrade was an idea of the City Council in 2017. There are now more than 600 Kerkrade life trees in Levensbomenbos West, in Levensbomenbos Holzkuil and Levensbomenlaan Holzkuil and Levensbomenbos Carisborg.

Tree adoption or gift

A memorial tree can be a very personal keepsake for yourself, but it is also a very original gift to give to someone. You will receive a certificate after adopting a tree that you can give to someone as a gift. This person can then plant the tree themselves during planting day. This way you also give the special experience of the planting day as a gift!

At this time, you cannot adopt trees. 

Planting Day

People who have adopted a tree may plant it themselves. A tag with a personal message may be attached to the tree. 

Warranty on the tree

Each adopted tree is subject to a replacement period of five years after its initial planting. This means that if the tree dies or is damaged within five years of its planting date, it will be replaced. 

Sponsors

Companies, associations and organizations cannot adopt a tree, but can sponsor the Life Tree Forest. Do you want to sponsor? Please send an e-mail to gemeentehuis@kerkrade.nl stating 'Sponsoring Levensbomenbos Kerkrade'.
