This month, we’re honored to spotlight Wildlands, the conservation biology company entrusted with protecting the land that makes Morgan Oaks Eternal Preserve possible. With a deep commitment to preserving critical habitats and keeping landscapes wild for generations to come, Wildlands ensures that Morgan Oaks remains ecologically rich, resilient, and forever protected.

In a recent episode of Green Burial Chronicles with Morgan Oaks, we sat down with Jacob Robinson, Wildlands’ Director of Conservation Biology, for an insightful and inspiring conversation. With more than 21 years of experience, Jacob shares the behind-the-scenes story of the original biological assessments at Morgan Oaks—revealing how sensitive habitats, seasonal wetlands, and the breathtaking Doty Ravine shaped the vision for the preserve. The episode offers a rare look at how conservation science, stewardship, and green burial come together to protect land in perpetuity.

 

Morgan Oaks Eternal Preserve is home to a rich mosaic of oak savannah, grasslands, riparian corridors, and vernal pools—habitats that support diverse wildlife, including Swainson’s hawks, burrowing owls, deer, beavers, and wild turkeys. Through conservation burial, this land remains open, naturally functioning, and connected to thousands of acres of protected open space nearby.
