After surveying the grounds, we are in need of chainsaws and those who are comfortable using them. We also need lawn mowers, string trimmers (weed whackers), branch clippers and lawn bags. Due to recent weather events, there is one fallen tree that will need to be removed in each cemetery. Focus will be on litter removal, general maintenance, brush removal, and possibly erecting a portion of fencing in both cemeteries.
