Kathryn O has planted a tree in honor of David E Ott

Remember Arcadia Nation Park, raining the entire time, hours of soggy socks and slick tents, it was one of the best vacations I ever went on. It’s even more treasured, those walks with you and those quiet talks we had, but mostly just to be present and alive with you, it was beautiful. Blessed with so many memories of you, hoping this tree will bring others closer too. <3

Why Paper Culture Plants Trees

  • We’re a paper company: moreso than most, trees are truly our business
  • We ALWAYS use 100% post-consumer recycled paper and/or alternative renewable fibers like cotton or bamboo which means our cards do not result in the cutting down of any new trees, however, that simply means that we do no harm to trees. We wanted to take it one step further by actively contributing to reforestation by planting trees.
  • Honestly, as founders, we knew we wanted to do something on a consistent basis and it was as simple as, we all just love trees!
