Sheila has planted a tree in honor of Emma, Maggie and Elisabeth

Girls: I give you the forests as your cathedral, so you can learn that roots planted deeply and faces turned upwards to the sun will allow growth to unlimited heights. While it is true that one tree alone is indeed a thing of beauty, I want you to know that multiple trees standing together are awe–inspiring. Keep your branches intertwined, girls, and you will be forever stronger for it. Love, Mama

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
