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

Perhaps this tree will bear fruit. Perhaps this tree will provide shade. Perhaps this tree will be small and fragile at first and grow to be a mighty statuesque moment of the forest. My hope is that this tree provides as you provided for us, steadily and without judgement. You were the best of fathers, because of your love. <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!
  • Trees do amazing things - check out our list of tree facts
