Good Friday Fencing! We are not sure if this is a thing but today we’ve finished installing a new fence at Wardley Hall with @salforddiocese and repaired some damaged stock fencing a Nab Hill. Happy Easter everyone #bankholidayworking #fencing #improvement #easterweekend #busyday #fencingfriday #memorialforest #memorialtrees #forestinprogress
Some Monday motivation! Working with @cityoftreesmcr , @manchestercitycouncil and @forestryengland through the Urban Tree Challenge project the team have been planting some Japanese cherry blossom trees at Wythenshawe Park. The trees will not only be useful for pollinators but add some colour to the park for visitors to enjoy. #pollinators #japanesecherrytree #community #treeplanting #treeplantinglife #wythenshawe #nature #mondaymotivation
Is there a better way to spend #InternationalDayOfForests than creating some. Planting more trees at the growing memorial forests at Blackley, Manchester and Crown Point, Burnley. #memorialforest #memorialtrees #manchester #burnley #crownpoint #blackley #trees #forests #treeplanting #johndeere #sundayworking
We made a new friend today while working at the Countess of Chester Country Park. The team were busy planting trees when this little mouse came to supervise. Does anyone know what type of mouse this might be? #mouse #mouseinhouse #memorialforest #memorialtrees #treeplanting #nature #biodiversity #chester #thelandtrust #countessofchestercountrypark
It is great to support @st_josephs_hospice with a donation of £1500 towards new patient bedding; bedding which is also designed to reduce and relieve the risk of bedsores. The memorial forest that enables donations like this sits within the grounds of the Hospice and over the past 15 years the dedicated trees have helped Life for a Life donate £31,500 to support the wonderful work of St Joseph’s Hospice.

This morning we had the pleasure of donating £1,500 to Dr. Kershaw's Hospice in Royton, towards their Furnish with Love Appeal. The donation will be used to purchase new furniture and equip patient rooms. Thank you to our volunteer Viv who presented the cheque outside the new ward and to all those who have dedicated trees and the landowners who make donations like this possible. 🌳 🌳 🌳 - #donation #giving #charity #memorialforest #memorialtrees #caring #smallcharity #giving #donations #community #supportlocal #trees #plantatree #forest #makeadifference #drkershawshospice #hospice #furnishwithlove #fundraising
There are lots of good reasons to leave areas of our memorial forests uncut and natural and this Lesser Celandine (Ficaria vern) shows us why. It’s not only a lovely spring wildflower but provides a great source of early pollen and nectar for insects and pollinators. #nomow #nature #naturephotography #wildflowes #celandine #natural #memorialforest #memorialtrees #homefornature
Some pictures from a busy few days working in partnership with @lancaster_city_council and The Hermitage Field Community Meadow charity. Together we’ve restored a pathway to the rear of the Hermitage Field memorial forest, trimmed the hedge and created a new wildflower planting bed to help our pollinators! scroll to the end to see what it looked like before. #countrysidemanagement #restoration #pathways #pollinators #wildflowers #wildflowermeadow #community #accessimprovements #memorialforest #charity #teamworkmakesthedreamwork #partnership #trees #hedges #conservation
Good News: We have been able to donate £4,250 this week to help 11 different charities local to our planting sites. Donations like this are only possible thanks to those who dedicate trees to help create our memorial forests and the support we receive from landowners, who provide space for tree planting. We cannot thank everyone enough. - - - #charity #memorialforest #memorialtrees #caring #smallcharity #giving #donations #community #supportlocal #trees #plantatree #forest
The team have been busy doing maintenance works at different sites this week, pruning, clearing footpaths and making "dead hedge" habitats with the brash for the birds and other mammals.

Wishing everyone a very merry Christmas from the entire team. After what has been a very unusual and difficult year, we'd like to thank everyone for your patience and continued support. Sending our best wishes to you all for the New Year. #merrychristmas #christmasgreetings #thanks #charity #robin #robinredbreast #bestwishes
Work has finally started at the Lowes Road Memorial Forest in Bury. Creating not just a new planting area but also a 2 acre pollinator friendly wildflower meadow. 🦋 - The work was planned to commence in March this year, but for obvious reasons this was delayed. - The work will continue throughout the winter and in to the spring. - #memorialforest #trees #plantatree #forestcreation #woodlandplanting #planting #wildflowermeadow #bury #tree #lancashire
Take extra care of the environment this Christmas, follow the rules and please do not to hang items on trees. Help nature instead by sowing some wildflower seeds and planting native bulbs to help the bees in spring or hang a fat ball to help feed the birds this winter. - As always items left will be descreetly removed. - 📸 Wythenshawe Park Memorial Forest - - - #christmas #happychristmas #environment #memorialtree #forest #trees #tree #plantatree #memorial #frostymorning #views #woodlandview

We Will Remember Them - Today our Trustee Mayor Eddy Hardaker laid a wreath in Oldham Centre and Royton on behalf of our late Founder and CEO, Norman Armstrong-Kersh MBE, in remembrance of all those who gave their lives for us. - #remembrance #remembranceday #remembranceday2020 #poppy #memorial #lestweforget #wewillrememberthem
This summer Life for a Life made a donation to the 'Laudato Si Centre' at Wardley Hall, which enabled the purchase of a honey extractor. With the use of this machine the volunteers have managed to extract 121lbs of honey from their bee hives. This project plays part of a wider initiative surrounding sustainability, the natural environment and climate change. - #bees #honey #honeybees #beekeeping #beekeepers #beehive #pollinators #urbanbeekeeping #laudatosi #pollination #insects #insectsofinstagram

It is with great sadness that we share the news that our beloved Founder and Chief Executive Norman Armstrong-Kersh MBE. KCOM has passed away. After a short illness Norman died peacefully on 13th September 2020. Norman was a loving family man and leaves behind five children, five grandchildren, one great grandchild and many countless friends. He was a gentle, loving and compassionate man who has left behind a strong and sustainable legacy with the Charity Life for a Life Memorial Forest, which will continue to grow from strength to strength in the safe hands of the Trustees and Staff. It was Norman’s last wish to have a Memorial tree planted in his memory; this will be planned post Covid-19 to allow the opportunity for all those who wish to attend, to celebrate the life of this great gentleman. Further details to follow.
As Autumn starts to edge closer our community wildflower meadows are starting to have their seasonal cuts. The wildflower meadows and woodlands have seen some fantastic Bee and Butterfly activity; and also provided a safe space for people to distance outdoors. All achieved with the support of The Community Pollinator Patches and the local community. 🦋 - - - #pollinators #bees #wildflowers #flowers #butterflies #wildlife #outdoors #tractors #tractorsofinstagram
The grounds team have escaped the northern rain to work on the wildflower meadow at the Blagdon Lake memorial forest. Whilst there the site was cover in butterflies 🦋 and dragonflies including this Common Blue and Silver-washed fritillary. #wildflowers #wildflowermeadow #biodiversity #butterfly #butterflies #blagdon #blagdonlake #insects #memorialforest #memorialtrees #nature #bristolwater
Beautiful blue skies and light clouds as well as some lovely natural heather last evening at the Indians Head memorial forest, Dovestone. Remember if you’re visiting that site is very busy so remember to social distance, take your litter home; especially if the bins are full and NO BBQs. #dovestonereservoir #dovestones #dovestone #memorialforest #memorialtrees #blueskies #clouds #landscapephotography #keepbritiantidy #environment

Well it’s certainly been a good year for Common Spotted Orchids (Dactylorhiza fuchsii) at our Fusiliers Meadow Memorial Forest in Whitefield. Just by changing our grass cutting regime at certain sites the changes to biodiversity is huge. #orchids #orchidsofinstagram #wildflowers #pollinators #biodiversity #woodlandmanagement #groundsmaintenance #memorialforest #memorialwoodlands #memorialtree

A beautiful Meadow Brown butterfly enjoying the community wildflower meadow at our Crook ‘o’ Lune memorial forest. We show case this meadow a lot as it is a great example of how planting a memorial tree with Life for a Life can help the environment, allowing us to support community groups like Community Pollinator Patches to create a rich diverse landscape. 🦋 - - - #butterflies #conservation #wildflowers #nature #butterfly #insects #lovenature #naturephotography #flowers #butterflyphotography #trees #wildlife #lancaster #lancashire #pollinators #outdoors #meadowbrownbutterfly #butterflyspotting
