REVISED DATE FOR CEMETERY DAY OF SERVICE!!!
Saturday, October 4, 9am to 4pm
We have pushed back the date of the cemetery day of service to Saturday, October 4. In order to secure the participation of more arborists, we pushed back the date to hopefully have cooler weather.
Our amazing friend who is an expert arborist, Lily, lobbied for the Mt. Washington Cemetery to be the site of the Ohio Chapter of the International Society of Arboriculture's Day of Service. The OCISA is a group of people who are passionate about trees and making the planet a better place, The OCISA will provide excellent tree care at no cost to the cemetery during the Day of Service.
One location in Ohio is chosen for this honor every year and we are thrilled to be it. The event will take place on Saturday, October 4, from 9am to 4pm. Volunteers will assist with dead tree removal, pruning, vine clearing, string trimming, raking, mowing, and more. Come for a couple of hours or for the day. If you can, please bring hand pruners, hand saws, rakes, string trimmers, or just yourself. Join us for a day of meaningful work and community impact.
Being chosen by the OCISA for this day of service is a priceless gift to our community. This historic cemetery, formerly abandoned, has been lovingly maintained by a small group of volunteers for forty years.
You will be able to park in the Mt. Washington Baptist Church parking lot across the street at 2021 Sutton Avenue. We will provide lunch and I guarantee it will be a feel-good day.
We hope to have as many volunteers as possible to spruce up the cemetery. Volunteers can sign up at the Society of Arboriculture's website by pasting this link into the search bar or by clicking on the Day of Service image:
