Restoration & Maintenence of Bachelors Grove Cemetery – Illinois USA
.
There was a meeting today (July 22nd) for Stewardship training within the Forest Preserve District of Cook County. There was also a discussion about the cemetery and what the District’s intentions are concerning its condition. At the moment the Forest Preserve District is not in direct control of the cemetery due to the transfer of ownership still pending. The FPD is not sure as to what will be happening as far as the upkeep of the cemetery but they also stated that they will continue to fully support the Grove Restoration Project and its volunteers in maintaining the area.
What this means is that there is still a fair amount of time until more progress is made toward going in again and maintaining the weeds and other such activities. A representative of the FPD stated that there could be a time slot available in September for the GRP to meet with other officials of Cook County in order to evaluate the cemetery and its surrounding area to discuss a site plan.
As stated above the meeting was for Stewardship training and a GRP coordinator is attending the training in order to obtain Master Stewardship status. This will help the GRP move forward in helping to outline an official site plan and conduct the many positive changes to the area as a result.
