Oregon's historic cemeteries need lots of TLC. Controlling vegetation and caring for historic features like headstones, footstones, curbing, fencing, etc. takes special care in these important sites. The Oregon Commission on Historic Cemeteries is organizing a corps of people who are willing to take a bit of training and to make themselves available to volunteer. The online training is available now. Once the training is completed those who pass can be added to the list of willing volunteers. To reach trained volunteers, people organizing cemetery clean-ups may contact the Commission and we will connect you to people in your area. Contact Kuri Gill for more information, Kuri.Gill@state.or.us or 503-986-0685.
