A Family Heritage Grove is a family-based tree planting initiative that tries to make the growing of trees 'relational' and 'social'. The initiative is tied to special family events like birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, etc. Special attention is given to native trees (like Narra, Lawaan, Magkuno, etc) or tree endemic to the area.

A family would identify a plot or area where native trees could be grown in memory of their loved ones or where such trees could be planted to mark special family occasions. The use of tree guards is recommended in the initial years. Certain family recreational activities (like picnic) could later be organized in such plot to help ensure the trees are cared for.
