Legacy Grove Society

A nurse log is a large fallen tree that serves as the growing site for young trees and plants. In nature's grand cycle, old-growth nurse logs become life-giving sanctuaries for countless organisms, fostering biodiversity and sustaining the vitality of the entire ecosystem.

Similarly, you can play a vital role in the ongoing legacy of our forests even after your time on this earth.
