Heartwood Tree

🌳 The Heartwood Tree™

A Lasting Tribute to Those We Hold Close

Since the beginning of time, trees have symbolized life — strength, endurance, deep roots, and everlasting presence. Inspired by these values, the Heartwood Tree™ is a special memorial project created by the Central Northeast Health Foundation to honour loved ones who may be gone, but are never forgotten.

You can find our Heartwood Trees proudly displayed at:

  • Bonnews Lodge in Badger’s Quay
  • Lakeside Homes in Gander

Each gold or silver leaf on the Heartwood Tree holds a personalized inscription — a name, a quote, or a short message — creating a timeless tribute that reflects your love, memories, and connection.


💛 Memorial Giving with Purpose

Every leaf placed on the Heartwood Tree not only honours a loved one — it also supports vital healthcare programs and services for residents in our long-term care facilities.

This meaningful memorial becomes a living legacy of compassion and care for generations to come.
