Cedar Fort committee schedules April 29 cemetery cleanup, outlines tasks and logistics

The Town of Cedar Fort Cemetery Committee set a community service project for April 29 during its April 6 meeting, outlining tasks, volunteer coordination and supply needs.

Committee members said the cleanup will involve placing rocks to mark burial locations, trimming weeds, removing unwanted or deteriorated items, and addressing general cemetery maintenance such as broken benches and sprinkler issues. Members discussed recruiting youth groups and community volunteers, requested supplies (gloves, garbage bags, tools) and encouraged volunteers to bring personal yard equipment. The minutes note that 'Sons and Daughters' may provide water and refreshments and that spraying is scheduled for the Wednesday before the cleanup.

The committee also discussed authority and responsibility for removing old decorations from graves and ongoing maintenance concerns; no formal action or vote on the cleanup logistics was recorded in the minutes.
