Guidelines for Cemetery Cleanups

It's that time of year! Weather is cooling off, Halloween gets us in the mood to get out into local cemeteries, and Veterans Day is a poinent reminder to honor those who have served by tending to their final resting places.

Due to  cleanup efforts popping up all over the region, we put together this quick guide so cemetery stewards can keep on with the good efforts they intended and do no harm to cultural resources in their community.
