Plant Something That
Outlives Us All.
A native tree planted in someone's name — a parent, a partner, a child, a friend, a dog who loved the woods. A bronze placard with your words at its base. And one free stay here every year, for life.Ten trees. Ten families. Standing here long after we're gone.
In memory, in honor, in someone's name.
Every Legacy Founder Tree carries a custom placard. Some will honor a parent or grandparent. Some a partner, a child, a friend, or a dog who loved the woods. Some dedicated to a cause worth remembering. You choose the words — we'll email you to set up a virtual meeting after you claim your spot to finalize the engraving and work out the details together.
If you're honoring someone who has passed, you're welcome to provide a small amount of their ashes to be incorporated into the planting of their tree, where appropriate. Their memory becomes part of something living — a tree that you can return to and watch grow for generations. We'd be happy to plan a special ceremony for you to attend at the planting of the tree in October.
A tree lives for decades.
Sometimes for centuries.
We're setting aside ten designated spots on the land at The Burrow — three along the riverside and seven in the central grove. Each one becomes a Legacy Founder Tree: a native species chosen for this soil, planted by hand, and cared for by local arborists for the life of the resort. You'll be able to return every year, stand beneath your tree, and watch it grow taller than the treehouses.
A place here, permanently.
A Native Tree, Chosen & Tended
We select a native species suited to this ground — oak, maple, sycamore — plant it in your designated spot, and keep it maintained by local arborists for generations to come.
A Custom Dedication Placard
A bronze-finished placard set at the base of your tree. Dedicate it to a loved one who has passed, a family member, a beloved pet, or a charity that matters to you. Your words, cast in metal.
One Free Stay Every Year — For Life
As a Legacy Founder you receive one complimentary night's stay at The Burrow every single year, for life. Come back, visit your tree, and stay in the trees yourself.
Ten spots. Already mapped.
Three Riverside Grove trees line the creek. Seven Central Grove trees sit between the A-frame and the Pinecone treehouse. Spots are claimed first come, first served — the sooner you claim, the more choice you have.
Native species, hand planted, arborist maintained.
We don't plant ornamentals that fade in a decade. Every Legacy Founder Tree is a native species selected by us for this soil and this climate — the kind of tree that can stand for a hundred years or more. Local arborists prune, water, and protect it, and we'll send you a photo each year so you can watch it grow between visits.
Be there when it goes in the ground.
Founders are invited out to the land along Sunday Creek for planting day — hands in the soil, water from the creek, your placard set in place. And if you can't make it in person, we'll document the whole thing on video for you: your spot, your tree going in, and your dedication read aloud, sent straight to your inbox.
