Tree Planting Options
How it Works
Our goal is to create new, healthy, thriving forests in the Midwest
Our First Plantings will Take Place Spring 2025
Where?
We purchase farm land from landowners hoping to allocate their ground to conservation in the Midwest. We then create a plan with local conservation districts, universities, and the forest service to create a lasting forest.
Maintenance
We water and prune all trees as needed for the first 3-12 years. We replant any trees that die in the first 3 years. Depending on species, around the 10 year mark any forest thinning or replanting will take place to maintain healthy tree numbers before letting nature do its thing.
Visitation
All forest and grasslands are able to be visited by the public. Unlike other memorial tree services we encourage you to come see your memorial. We want you to see what work is being done and how we grow and honor legacies.
