The Forest Conservation Burial Ground is Oregon's first dedicated natural burial ground and a member of the Conservation Burial Alliance. They offer full-body burial and cremated remains burial/scattering. The Forest is located 30 minutes outside of Ashland, Oregon, on 18 acres of the 445 acre Willow-Witt Ranch in the lower Cascades. Their mission is to provide a place to reconnect our experience of life and death with land conservation. They achieve this by offering natural burial in reciprocity with the living landscape, reinforcing the vital connection between ourselves, one another, and the natural world. The land selected for The Forest has mature conifers and oaks, native shrubs, grasses, and wildflowers. Burial sites overlook meadows and seasonal wetlands. Paths and trails wind through the cemetery. Green burials are a natural fit in this serene setting. Natural burial grounds are living landscapes, meant to be shared with the living. Burial fees go back into upholding the values of conservation, restoration, and management of the soil, forests, and wetlands.
