Foxfield Preserve
Wilmot, Ohio
Foxfield Preserve is a nature preserve cemetery operated by The Wilderness Center. It is the first “green cemetery” operated by a non-profit conservation organization in the U.S. and the first of its kind in Ohio.
Foxfield Preserve provides an economical, environmentally friendly alternative to modern burial as fewer resources are used in natural burial. As a nature preserve, we provide wildlife habitat, a clean watershed, and clean air. Our walking trails allow the community to enjoy the beauty and serenity of the preserve.
Foxfield Preserve was farmland a decade ago, but since the 43 acre site was acquired by The Wilderness Center, it has been undergoing ecological restoration. Most recently, native prairie grasses have been planted and reforestation has begun. Over the next 100 years, nature will come to dominate the landscape. The forest section will resemble the adjacent Ohio Natural Landmark, Sigrist Woods, an old growth forest protected by The Wilderness Center
By choosing burial at Foxfield Preserve, our clients leave a permanent legacy for their families, communities, and the natural world by supporting restoration efforts and long-term stewardship. You are also choosing to support The Wilderness Center’s mission of connecting our community with nature, educating people of all ages, conserving natural resources, and practicing environmental stewardship.
