A little more about the event
Heartwood Preserve will mark a decade of natural burial in Tampa Bay with a free community celebration on Saturday, November 14, from 4:30 to 7:30 PM. The event, “Through the Lens of Time,” takes place at the preserve, 4100 Starkey Blvd in Trinity. All are welcome. The evening looks back at ten years of families, land, and conservation. Guests are invited to email or bring a photograph for the Snapshot Gallery, which will tell the preserve’s story through the people who have been part of it. A community time capsule will collect handwritten hopes for Heartwood over the next ten years. Guided walking tours will take visitors through the preserve’s longleaf pine flatwoods and cypress dome wetlands. The celebration also includes food, beer and wine, live music, a photo booth, cornhole, horseshoes, and a bonfire.
