August is the preserve at its most elemental. The hills have turned the deep gold of dried grass, the oaks stand wide and unmoved against the heat, and the air holds a warm, dry stillness that feels ancient — like the land is resting between what came before and what comes next.
July settles over the preserve like a long exhale. The green of spring has ripened into gold — hillsides of cured grass shimmering in the afternoon heat, oaks standing dark and certain against the brightness. This is California’s oldest rhythm: the land drawing inward, conserving, enduring, and somehow more beautiful for it.
April brings a fuller expression of spring. The hills soften into green, wildflowers begin to bloom, and the rhythms of nature move from quiet preparation into visible life. What was once beneath the surface now stretches toward the sun.
March arrives with a subtle shift in the air. Days grow brighter, the soil begins to warm, and the quiet rhythms of nature signal that a new season is taking shape. Beneath the surface, roots are strengthening and preparing for the life that will soon rise above the ground.
June arrives slowly and generously. The mornings come early, the evenings stretch long, and the preserve settles into its warmest, most open season of the year. Wildflowers that pushed through the soil in spring are now in full voice.
May arrives with the preserve in full expression. The trees planted in seasons past now offer shade. The wildflowers seeding themselves year after year return without being asked. The trails worn gently by countless quiet visits hold the memory of every step taken on them.
February carries a softer kind of warmth—one rooted in love, remembrance, and connection. As Valentine’s Day approaches on February 14, hearts naturally turn toward those we cherish—past and present—inviting reflection on how love continues long after loss.

What Is Green Burial?
Green burial is a popular alternative to conventional burial that allows you or your loved one to return to the earth naturally after passing. Green burial aims to reduce the use of chemical preservatives that may pollute the burial space. Green burial may take place on either private land or in a cemetery that accommodates green burial practices. The body is not preserved with chemicals and may be encased in a biodegradable coffin (often made of untreated softwood) or cloth shroud, and then placed into a grave without an outer vault or container that would prevent soil contact.

Green Burial vs. Conventional Burial
Green burials typically offer a more economical alternative to conventional burials. In a green burial, simplicity and environmental sustainability are prioritized, leading to lower costs. Traditional burials often involve significant expenses such as elaborate caskets, embalming, and high-priced burial plots. In contrast, green burials opt for biodegradable caskets or shrouds, eschew embalming processes, and may use natural markers instead of traditional headstones.
