View from tree
This ridge delivers partial mountaintop views that can be seen from the main pathway, while hiking trails take you higher into the forest, giving you the distinct feeling of being elevated above the rest of the forest — perfect for those seeking a private moment of peace.
Madrone Ridge sits above Soquel Creek, a 16+ mile long creek that flows down to Monterey Bay, with numerous tributaries feeding into it. Through our commitment to forest protection, we are contributing to the health of the riparian ecosystem it provides. Riparian vegetation provides temperature regulation, shade, and bank stabilization.
Filled with spectacular trees, this is where you’ll find some of the best madrone specimens available, as well as an extremely limited number of evergreen Coast Live Oaks. Afternoon lighting is spectacular year-round while, in the winter, a dense fog sits on the ridge, creating the serene sense of walking in the clouds.
Giving the peaceful feeling of being deep in the forest, this section is ideal for those seeking picturesque privacy.
We invite you to enjoy a personalized forest tour hosted by our Forest Guides. Bring your friends & family, meet your tree and our team, and experience the beauty of the forest you are helping to protect.
We are currently open for visits by appointment and we look forward to hosting you soon.
7% of your purchase is set aside in a stewardship trust for ongoing forest care.
The cycle of life and death are interconnected. If your tree dies before any ashes have been spread, we’ll help transfer you to another tree free of charge. If your tree dies after ashes have been spread, your memorial marker(s) will remain, marking your special place in the forest ecosystem. We look at each tree on a case by case basis, and we seek to be minimally invasive while prioritizing forest health.
You have perpetual access to your tree. Every customer is granted an irrevocable license to access their memorial tree and the forest. These are recorded with local governments to ensure you and your loved ones can enjoy the forest. To spread ashes at your tree (people or pet), your tree needs to be paid in full.
We want you to have peace of mind with your purchase. Within 120 days of your purchase, we offer one free tree transfer and refunds. After 120 days, you can transfer to a tree of the same value for a fee. If your tree dies unexpectedly before ashes have been spread, we’ll help you choose a new tree at no cost.
As part of your purchase, we’ll place 7% of your tree purchase in a trust for the perpetual stewardship of the forest. This trust enables us to fund maintenance of the land for future generations, keeping the forest healthy and accessible for you and your loved ones.
