Conservation Burial Presentation to Central Texas Mycology Society

Conservation Burial Presentation to Central Texas Mycology Society

2024, Jun 18    

My presentation to the Central Texas Mycological Society π“Šπ“‹Όπ“Šπ“‹Όπ“Š on natural burial and my conservation cemetery project, Campo de Estrellas, is now available online! Both natural burial and mycology are trending topics with ancient roots, aligned in their aim to reduce resource use and minimize harmful materials in the soil. They both also recognize the benefits of the full lifecycle of nature (I’m talking about decomposition β˜†(❁‿❁)β˜† ) With all the anxious headlines about AI, it was refreshing to think about naturally occurring networks of intelligence that we can learn from.

Campo de Estrellas

Campo de Estrellas is a conservation cemetery near Smithville, TX. I cofounded this natural burial cemetery with a family who wanted to conserve their land and create a place for people to reflect on their lives.

Campo de Estrellas offers:

  • Single burial plots
  • Double burial plots
  • Cremation burial plots
  • Pet burial plots
