Restoration & Maintenence of Bachelors Grove Cemetery – Illinois USA
.
The Forest Preserve District has granted approval for the GRP to pick up where S.W.A.P. had left off last month. On the day of the clean-up for Saturday, October 31st, volunteers will be gathering inside of the cemetery at 12:00 P.M. The only items you will need to bring are a pair of comfortable gloves and possibly a hard rake if you happen to have one. If you forget to bring a pair of gloves there will be some available on-site. A few hard rakes will also be provided on-site but standard leaf rakes will not be necessary. Most of the material that needs to be relocated into one large pile will not require the use of tools.
Trash collection will be the primary focus early on in the afternoon and the Forest Preserve District will be providing all of the garbage bags. Once the general area has been cleaned up the majority of the efforts will be on creating a central brushpile from all of the material that was cut up last month. At this point in time a brushpile burn will not take place but it may be scheduled for next month if everything is completed on the 31st. For further details please read the initial post below about the clean-up. If you have any questions about the event please don’t hesitate to email a coordinator!
On a side note, the GRP filed a request this month for the recent graffiti that some of you may have found in the area. We are pleased to announce that the Cook County Sheriff’s Graffiti Removal squad placed a visit to the area and everything has been cleaned up. It is now becoming a true waste for vandals to put their own time and money into such activities as it will only be removed.
See you all on the Halloween!
