Erin Dempsey has planted a tree in honor of Megan and Tatum Dempsey

My precious daughters, trees to me are symbols of strength, wisdom, beauty and grace. They are also protectors of living things with their leaves and branches and the shade they provide. These are qualities that I know you already have, and they will only get stronger over time. I love the thought of this tree growing and changing while the two of you are growing and changing. I love you both with all that I am.

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
