Caring for people, protecting the earth
We’re a nonprofit helping people navigate loss, with nature as their guide.
Our Impact
Nine forests. Thousands of acres. One commitment:
To protect the places that help heal people.
Protected Memorial Forests
Acres permanently protected
People supported in nature
Our Commitments
Forest Stewardship
We care for the forest so the forest can care for people. Every acre we protect is a place where families can heal.
Memorials
A ceremony in the forest is unlike anything held indoors. Quiet, unhurried, and guided by the people who protect this land.
Grief Support
Grief is heavy. The forest gives it somewhere to go. Guided hikes, workshops and programs use nature to find your way through.
Our Memorial Forest locations
Discover nine protected forests, each a place of natural beauty where families can gather and rest together—protected forever, accessible always.
Ready to plan your ceremony?
A dedicated Guide will help you with every step from choosing your date to handling paperwork, to personalizing your ceremony.
Find your Better Place
Better Place is where families go to plan—cremation, funerals, memorials, obituaries, and end-of-life services all rooted in nature.
