In 2017 a Town Council-owned tree was agreed to become a tangible symbol to raise interest in peace.
In 2021 and in the wake of Covid, a second tree was agreed to refresh interest and to create a larger symbol - a Trail for Peace.
In 2025 and in the turbulent slipstream of declining international peace this website was created to bring the Trees and Trail together as a monument:
- to promote awareness and confidence in our human peacemaking abilities
- to invite learning about Peace, and
- to support practical actions to make peace stronger
So, increasingly, this site will have pages listing activities and areas of learning that will be Gifts to Peace.
Each Gift will add immediately to a visitors' personal peace, and soon also to our more widely shared peace. For more about that read the Post about The Growth of Peace.
