This towering giant is the backdrop for our welcome area. It has been lovingly pruned, and the trunk is clear to the lower branches.

Conveniently located close to our welcome area, Sunrise Trail provides a natural opening to the forest. Enter via a gentle, sloping trail that delivers stunning eastern sunrises to reward early birds and invites you into an enveloping forest canopy. The trail also offers partial views of the neighboring Santa Cruz mountainside.
Sunlight streams through the leaves and, in springtime, illuminates the variety of wildflowers that pepper the forest floor. Birdsong can be heard early in the day and, for the very fortunate, great horned owls have even been heard hooting their calls to each other in the evenings.
Peaceful and quiet throughout, the northernmost parts of this section provide a sense of seclusion and immersion that’s perfect for those looking for true privacy in the forest.
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.
