Mission
Our Mission is to restore farm ground back to natural habitat through forest and grassland planting and memorialize the people who make it possible along the way
The Full Story
About Living Legacies
Born from the idea that not all land should farmed, we set out for a way to restore Natural Habitat in the Midwest. Agriculture drives midwestern economies but its growth has also led to the downfall of natural habitat.
In order to help this environmental toll we sought a way to convert poor performing farmland back to natural grasslands and forests, but we can't do it on our own.
In looking at options to help us make restoration possible we found that the memorial tree market is broken. Our competitors simply take your money and throw it into a huge tree planting fund at a national forests and you have no clue whether your tree was actually planted or where. We seek to provide actual value to our customers by giving them a tree or grassland both they and others can visit and cherish for years to come.
To provide the best long term effects of our efforts we have worked with county conservation districts, universities, and the forestry service to create specific tree and grassland plans. These plans are designed to create natural habitat that will be sustainable well beyond our lifetime. We hope you will join us in honoring a loved one, event, or memory, through either grassland restoration or a tree and help with nature conservation along the way.
Family Owned and Operated
Faith, Family, and Farming
We are owned by a 6th generation midwestern farm family and we hold the same midwestern farm values our country was built on. We work hard to not only feed the country but are now working hard to minimize the negative impact farming can have.
