The slight bend in its trunk makes this Keepsake Red Maple easy to spot! Located on the hillside going down to the lake, the bark and trunk of this tree showcase the resiliency of the Red Maple species. It's like it was designed to withstand whatever weather Minnesota can throw its way!
View from tree
All of the trees in Shoreline Vista enjoy lakefront views. Some pepper the banks of Fish Lake and others climb a gentle slope towards the rest of the forest, providing a unique vantage point from the ledge above.
Most trees in this section are accessible from a wide trail along the ridge. Others can be reached by a path at lake level. In warmer months, a pair of common loons has been frequently spotted in the lake, along with the occasional swan or bald eagle overhead.
We invite you to enjoy a personalized forest tour hosted by our Forest Guides. Bring your friends & family, meet your tree and our team, and experience the beauty of the forest you are helping to protect.
7% of your purchase is set aside in a stewardship trust for ongoing forest care.
The cycle of life and death are interconnected. If your tree dies before any ashes have been spread, we’ll help transfer you to another tree free of charge. If your tree dies after ashes have been spread, your memorial marker(s) will remain, marking your special place in the forest ecosystem. We look at each tree on a case by case basis, and we seek to be minimally invasive while prioritizing forest health.
You have perpetual access to your tree. Every customer is granted an irrevocable license to access their memorial tree and the forest. These are recorded with local governments to ensure you and your loved ones can enjoy the forest. To spread ashes at your tree (people or pet), your tree needs to be paid in full.
We want you to have peace of mind with your purchase. Within 120 days of your purchase, we offer one free tree transfer and refunds. After 120 days, you can transfer to a tree of the same value for a fee. If your tree dies unexpectedly before ashes have been spread, we’ll help you choose a new tree at no cost.
As part of your purchase, we’ll place 7% of your tree purchase in a trust for the perpetual stewardship of the forest. This trust enables us to fund maintenance of the land for future generations, keeping the forest healthy and accessible for you and your loved ones.
