Upcoming Webinars
Supporting Families and Communities Before, During, and After a Burial
Wednesday November 17th 12noon pst / 3pm est
Please join us as we go deeper into the heart of this work.
We'll hear from a handful of CBA founders about their approach to the more intangible aspects of this work, including showing up with integrity, setting boundaries, managing expectations, and holding space for grief. We'll also talk through the logistics and best practices of support before a burial, during the experience, and during the months and years afterwards.
This webinar will be an hour long presentation, followed by a half hour for questions and reflection.

Conservation Easements on Conservation Burial Grounds: What, Why and How
Conservation easements are an essential element in conservation burial grounds. The Green Burial Council describes them as: A voluntary legal agreement between a landowner and a land trust (or government agency) that permanently limits the uses of the land in order to protect its conservation values. This webinar will provide a basic understanding of conservation easements and their purposes, including how writing the conservation easement can impact the long term management of the burial ground. CBA Founders Freddie Johnson, of Prairie Creek Conservation Cemetery (FL), and Jeff Masten, of Bluestem Conservation Cemetery, (NC) will share experiences and advice from years of practice as conservationists and burial ground operators.

What conservation education must build is an ethical underpinning for land economics and a universal curiosity to understand the land mechanism. Conservation may then follow."
