How to Visit

Grateful for Your Support!

Dear Friends,

On January 16, Land of Medicine Buddha introduced a $20 Entrance Fee and a new $10 low income option for all cars, pedestrians, and bikes. For many years, the generosity of our visitors has helped us care for this beautiful land. As visitation has grown, we have shifted from a suggested donation to an entrance fee so this sacred place can remain open, well cared for, and a refuge for generations to come. For our frequent visitors, we have introduced the Annual Land Steward Membership for significant savings.

Stewarding 108 acres of land, along with the buildings, infrastructure, staff, and daily maintenance, is a large responsibility. We are deeply grateful for your support and kind understanding.

Please read “How to Visit” carefully to plan and prepare for your visit. We look forward to welcoming you back to these majestic redwoods soon!
