Conservation Burial grounds provide the choice for a totally natural burial (no vault, no embalming and only biodegradable containers) combined with the legacy of forever protecting and managing the associated land by way of a conservation easement. In 2023 CBI/PCCC helped families perform 102 natural body burials, 61 burials of cremated remains and 14 burials of human companion(pet) remains. Community volunteers supporting the organization's mission contributed over 2500 hours of service. Land restoration: As a part of managing the 93 acres of PCCC, CBI actively pursues a land stewardship plan developed in conjunction with its land trust partner, Alachua Conservation Trust (ACT). This includes removing secondary hardwoods and replanting with an ecologically diverse set of species. The stewardship plan also includes the creation and management of a native wildflower and pollinator meadow feature in the cemetery. Advocacy: CBI staff regularly host free workshops on the subject of end-of-life planning (advance directives) and various body disposition choices. CBI staff also perform presentations and table displays in local churches, medical organizations, hospices, religious institutions and funeral homes to bring more awareness of the different choices available to people in the community. 0 0 0 247868 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 6 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 14 14 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 X Lesa Holder 3523365910 7204 SE County Road 234 Gainesville FL 326411608 Carlos Gonzalez Ex Director 40 0 X X 48239 0 0 Doug Hornbeck Board Member 1.0 0 X 0 0 0 Houston Wells Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Walt Barry Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Susan Marynowski Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Leigh Baker Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Kevin Conlin Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Bettina Mosier Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Sally Palmi Board Member 2.0 0 X 0 0 0 Sterling Davenport Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Freddie Johnson Board Mmeber 4.0 0 X 0 0 0 Sven Hansen Vice President 1.0 0 X 0 0 0 Sam Welker President 5.0 0 X 0 0 0 Catherine Cake Treasurer 1.0 0 X 0 0 0 Buddy Irby Secretary 2 0 X 0 0 0 48239 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 209475 0 209475 Green Burial Services 812220 244110 244110 0 0 20 20 0 0 244130 0 0 0 0 0 0 453605 244130 0 0 X 0 0 0 0 48239 0 102063 0 0 11540 10202 0 755 0 0 0 21095 3648 9195 2700 0 0 126 0 505 43 0 0 4193 Supplies and Materials 13317 Paypal fees 4902 0 232523 0 0 0 113143 97389 188 35144 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 75588 0 64370 75588 623723 928708 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 801424 1136829 2050 2610 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2050 2610 X 0 0 0 0 799374 1134219 799374 1134219 801424 1136829 221082 114588 0 0 -825 0 X 0 0 0 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 57500 0 57500 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 18088 0 0 18088 0 0 0 0 75588 Schedule D, Part I, Line 1 Conservation Burial Inc. has 1 investment account with Schwab which is an endowment account and only the earnings can be utilized.
