RSL Rainforest site looking west to the mountains and showing rehabilitation sites to the left and right
We will plant your Salute to Service tree in the RSL Rainforest, a forest rehabilitation site owned by the Australian Rainforest Foundation and located in the World Heritage Listed Daintree rainforest in far north Queensland, where it is protected forever.
After we plant your tree we will send you or your gift recipient this beautiful hand made card indicating the species name and the GPS location of the tree.
Your tree will give life to the rainforest, be a home to a multitude of animals, birds, insects and reptiles and be a memorial to your chosen service person, Corps or Unit.

The Forest of Life is the centrepiece of the ARF’s efforts in the Daintree. It is 200 acres of land at Cape Tribulation – The George Mansford Reserve - named after retired Brigadier George Mansford AM, early chairman of the Australian Rainforest Foundation.
The block abuts the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area with Thompson Creek flowing through its centre. The land has been identified by scientists as having the highest ecological values.
This padlock will be engraved with the name service number of the serviceperson or unit for whom it is purchased and placed on a memorial near the tree.
