| Summary: | The article presents the author's views on her experience of going on a retreat at the Sisters of Loretto Motherhouse and Retreat Center in Kentucky, highlighting the community's proposal for green burial to preserve their land for wildlife including migratory birds. The internment of bodies on land reportedly changes the property's status which makes it harder for the government to use it under eminent domain, thereby preserving it for wildlife. |
