The Natural Burial Movement Is Born At Ramsey Creek Preserve Dr. Billy Campbell and Kimberley Campbell, co-founders of Ramsey Creek Preserve and the Conservation Burial Alliance (RCPreserve photos used with permission) Dr. Billy Campbell has a noble long term goal for the Conservation burial movement: to dedicate over a million acres to conservation burials in America within this century. In 1998 his mission started with Ramsey Creek Preserve, a small acreage that has since expanded to 78 acres with over a mile of creek frontage. “The original 33 acre site protected a quarter mile of Ramsey Creek. The stream drops along 5 rock shoals, providing the sound of falling water throughout the preserve. The land sits at the biological crossroads between the mountains and Piedmont, has a significant area never plowed and consequently has an impressive 330 species of vascular plants. The diversity also extends to animals including the occasional black bear… Conservation burial preserves are nature preserves that allow for the sacred burial of human remains. These protected lands are economical, natural, and environmentally responsible natural areas that are specifically designed to save and restore significant wildlands and habitat for plants and animals. Burial on conserved land provides a deep connection to the land for friends and families whose loved ones are there.”
