*TREE OF MEMORIES KEEP ON GIVING – TO PEOPLE AND WILDLIFE*

*Eastham, MA. *On Tuesday, January 3rd, Wild Care, Inc., a wildlife rescue
and rehabilitation center in Eastham, received 14 trees from Hope
Hospice’s Tree
of Memories program. The trees will be used to fill Wild Care’s raptor and
songbird aviaries to provide enrichment for recovering sick and injured
wildlife. Tree of Memories began 26 years ago to celebrate the memory of
loved ones while supporting the worthy cause of hospice. Through Tree of
Memories, people purchase scallop shells ornaments inscribed with the name
of their loved one, and they are hung on lighted trees in the town of their
choice. Hope Hospice chaplains hosted remembrance ceremonies at 19
locations this year, from Brockton to Provincetown, to Martha’s Vineyard.
At the ceremonies, the name of the loved one is read aloud with blessings
and inspirational words shared.

“Wild Care is so fortunate to receive these Hope Hospice trees for our
recovering animals,” states Wild Care Executive Director, Stephanie Ellis.
“The trees are placed throughout our raptor and songbird aviaries, and
provide enrichment, perches and hiding places, for many months to come. We
believe they boost morale in our patients, and help with their recovery
process, by providing a familiar, natural environment. These trees keep on
giving, to both people *and* wildlife, and we love what they represent.”
