Case Study

Fletcher Studio helped design a cemetery alternative within a mature forest in Northern California. Better Place Forests’ novel model buys land, puts it into long term conservation, and tags trees with memorial markers where families can place ashes. At this 40-acre site, the design is minimally invasive, allowing families to orient, reflect, and commemorate without significantly impacting the large Coast Redwoods. A forest conservation team works to maintain the forest ecosystem.
