The Hulse & English Memorial Forest Fund
The Hulse & English Memorial Forest Fund is a non-profit tree planting charity. It provides private individuals the opportunity to contribute towards the greening of St. Catharines in the memory of loved ones. A tree symbolizes strength, durability, shelter and beauty. Trees illustrate that faith is representative of our past, the indicative optimism of our present and the enduring hope for our future. The Recreation & Community Services Department and the Hulse & English Funeral Home believe that trees are a tremendous living memorial that can be dedicated to departed loved one.
