Restoration & Maintenence of Bachelors Grove Cemetery – Illinois USA
.
The turn out for the June 27th clean-up was another success. Most of the attention was on the house foundation located near the roped off entrance to the main path leading to the cemetery. Over 25 bags of garbage were collected and most of the large items have been removed from this particular area. More work is needed but all of the volunteers did an excellent job and a lot of progress has been made! The location is starting to look better than it has in probably 70 years based on the age of the material found so far. You should be very proud of yourselves!
The cemetery itself remained fairly clean from the May 2nd event and visitors have been using the garbage bags placed at the main gate so it has made a huge difference in the efforts. A big thank you goes out to those of you using the bags to properly dispose of your material and to the visitors that help dispose of the full bags when the GRP is not on site! It certainly allows the volunteers to focus more of their time in other areas that need attention and of course it is simply a joy not to see a bunch of junk everywhere. Good work!
A few photographs were captured during the event and can be found in the 2009 Gallery. There are more clean-ups being scheduled for next month and we look forward to seeing you all there!
