Cheryl Fox and Shayna Starks pitched conservation burial to the Oakley City Council in 2024:

This is just a lovely picture of Utah, not Oakley. Could you imagine a beautiful desert-scape cemetery in towns where it is appropriate? Imagine the serenity and the thrift for taxpayers: -No mowers -No weed wackers -No sprinklers -No grass to cut weekly -No trees to prune or roots to manage
-No status symbols -No fences
A conservation cemetery could host a single monument that lists names and gps coordinates for each soul buried on the reserve.
Here is a master class training for starting your own conservation cemetery: https://www.redesigningtheend.com/courses/green-burial-masterclass Here is a conference session on Governments hosting conservation cemteries: https://vimeo.com/642501334/86a84c91c7
Let's each show support by asking for this kind of cemetery from the city council of your town and or Oakley that you waant a conservation burial ground!
