Beginning in 2024, Heritage Conservancy will plant a tree for each couple that celebrates their wedding at Aldie Mansion.

Your wedding at Aldie Mansion helps support our missions of land conservation and natural resource protection, along with our local historic preservation work and environmental education programs. Thank you for choosing Aldie Mansion for one of the most important days of your life!

The rooting and growth of a tree is a perfect metaphor for a young marriage and a powerful symbol of hope for the future. By planting a tree for each wedding celebrated at Aldie Mansion, we hope to help these events make an added impact in the community. We will plant a sapling at one of our Nature Preserves for each wedding held at Aldie Mansion as part of our reforestation efforts.

PLAN YOUR WEDDING AT ALDIE MANSION NOW!

Newlywed Tree Planting Volunteer Days

Want to get your hands dirty? Couples are invited to assist with tree plantings on designated volunteer work days. It’s a chance for newlyweds to bond, connect with our mission, and even meet other couples. 

The timing of work days will depend on staff availability and optimal timing for planting, normally weekdays in spring and fall. Of course, these volunteer days are completely optional; a tree will be planted on your behalf regardless of any direct participation. Couples who have been married previously at Aldie Mansion (before 2024) are also welcome to join.

Our next Newlywed Tree Planting will be Monday, November 11, 2024.
Contact Andrea at aszyper@heritageconservancy.org for details and to register.

The fine print

• The cost of the trees will be covered by Heritage Conservancy, so clients will have no extra expense.
• Trees will be planted on the Heritage Conservancy-owned preserves where they are most needed, completing riparian borders and reforesting where useful. This may include plantings in habitats and protected lands that are not open to the public.
• The trees will be chosen, placed, and planted at the discretion of our land managers. 
• No plaques or markers can be placed on the trees.
