Abstract or Description

For reasons we make apparent, management of cemeteries should be expanded to include wildlife issues and experts, just as they have botanists, arborists, and horticulturists. As cemeteries grow in number and size, they become habitats inviting wildlife, an interface for encounters between people and an increasing diversity of nature. It casts cemeteries as manufactured nature that is convincing and persuasive to wilderness inhabitants.
