Rory’s Wood
Dec 2025 - Mar 2026
CREating a legacy, one tree at a time
Creating Nature’s Corridors is proud to launch its 2025/26 planting programme with a landmark partnership with Grafham Water. At its heart is the creation of Rory’s Wood - a vibrant 35-acre woodland on the western edge of the reservoir. This new green space will offer the local community a sanctuary to reconnect with nature and support our mission to restore and reconnect habitats across the landscape.
To help bring this vision to life, sponsorship will be available for 500 of the 17,500 trees - giving individuals a meaningful way to dedicate a tree in honour of a loved one. Creating Rory’s Wood will require a huge collective effort, and we are calling on donations and volunteering support from both organisations and the wider public to make it happen.
BE PART OF A LEGACY AND SPONSOR A TREE IN MEMORY TODAY
Plant a Legacy: Remember or Celebrate Someone Special at Rory's Wood
Would you like to honour a loved one in a place that will grow and flourish for generations?
As part of Rory's Wood at Grafham Water, we will create a dedicated memorial area where you can plant a tree or sponsor a bench in memory or celebration of someone who matters to you.
What makes this special:
When you arrive at Rory's Wood, you'll find a beautiful wall of remembrance featuring the names of loved ones being honoured through this project. On the reverse side, there will be a bug hotel to support biodiversity, a living testament to how remembrance and renewal go hand in hand.
How it works:
💚 Memorial Tree: Plant a native tree that will stand as a living tribute for decades to come
🪑 Memorial Bench Sponsor a bench where families can sit, reflect, and watch the woodland grow
When you purchase a tree or bench, we'll be in touch to arrange a visit to the site, share the exact location of your tribute, and invite you to participate in the planting if you'd like.
Create lasting change in memory of lasting love.
Thank you for helping us create a place where memory, nature and community meet.
