Walking Tour of Greensprings Natural Cemetery followed by a Social Gathering at Sally Clayton's
October 18, 2024, 12:45pm - 2:00 pm
The walking tour will occur in fair weather only. LLH will send an email if cancelled due to inclement weather.
Greensprings Natural Cemetery Preserve is located atop a beautiful hill in Newfield, NY, on 130 acres bounded by two adjoining forests of 8,000 acres. It offers a sustainable, natural alternative to conventional burials, without embalming fluids, high-cost coffins, concrete vaults and fancy gravestones.
See the video of Michelle Menter's, Greensprings executive director, presentation on our YouTube channel HERE.
There will be a fair bit of walking over uneven terrain. Folks should dress like they're going on a hike and expect the weather to be a bit wilder at Greensprings since it is at a higher elevation.
Meet at the main entrance. You can find directions from Newfield and a map of the parking area HERE.
2:15pm - 3:30 pm
Please join us after the walking tour for a social gathering at the home of Sally Clayton, 35 Irish Hill Road. There will be light refreshments with a glass of wine or other beverage and time to discuss the tour at Greensprings or just visit.
