The Wildwood Memorial Grove is located on a
two acre clearing just north of Julie Andrews Point. The Grove features over 100 newly planted redwoods in a lovely setting, surrounded by mature redwoods and douglas firs. The main trail winds its way through a beautiful natural
landscape of ferns, native grasses, California laurel and coastal live oaks. Our vibrant new redwoods are reaching for the skies, reclaiming the land as a unique home for healing, meditation and remembrance.
The Memorial Grove is a wonderful complement to Wildwood’s role as a healing sanctuary. Please join us in creating this sacred place of remembrance and meditation with a donation to commemorate a loved one. All contributions will help to ensure Wildwood’s financial future.
