July 26th, 2009 – Clean-Up
.
A permit to help clean up the cemetery has been issued for Sunday, July 26th 2009 from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM. The permit was granted solely for the purpose of a clean-up that will only consist of removing the trash that has been left behind by visitors to the cemetery. At this point in time all permits that require the use of cutting tools are still on-hold. Please do not bring any other items besides those recommended below.
The main area of attention will be the last clean-up location where there used to be a house along the main path leading to the cemetery. The photograph below shows the location of the site marked as H1.
The only items you should bring are a pair of gloves, a few garbage bags, rake and bug spray. If you happen to have a wheel barrow please feel free to bring it along. But again, please don’t bring any other items.
The Forest Preserve District will be providing garbage bags and gloves but you may wish to provide your own gloves for more comfort. Also, on the last clean-up all of the garbage bags provided by the Forest Preserve District were used up so it won’t hurt to bring a few extra just in case.
At this point in time the Forest Preserve District has filed a request for a garbage dumpster to be located out near the cemetery to help with the efforts. Based on availability, it is unclear if it will be placed on-site for the July 26th clean-up. We will keep you updated on the results of the request.
