Catherine, Eliot & Rob Albertson has planted a tree in honor of Blake Galligan

We dedicate this tree to Blake Galligan for his strength, silliness and absolute iron will to survive and live his life in spite of his heart condition. Several surgeries & procedures under his belt and a third on the way, your strength is our inspiration! Go Blake!

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!
  • Trees do amazing things - check out our list of tree facts
