Historic Cemeteries Clean Up with SOLVE and Astoria Parks
Astoria Parks and Recreation is partnering with statewide non-profit SOLVE, and the Oregon Commission on Historic Cemeteries for a statewide cemetery clean-up day.
The event will be the first ever, statewide historic cemetery clean-up with the goal of bringing as many volunteers out to as many cemeteries across Oregon as possible. "Encouraging environmental stewardship amongst our citizens is an important part of our mission at Parks and Recreation. Oceanview Cemetery, along with being an important habitat to maintain for local wildlife, it is an important location with historic significance for the County," says Angela Cosby, Director of Astoria Parks and Recreation.
Volunteers will help pick up litter, pull invasive weeds, trim around headstones, and prune shrubs. Volunteers are advised to wear work boots, long pants, and sunscreen. Astoria Parks staff will provide tools, work gloves, snacks, and water.
Astoria Parks and Recreation is always eager to provide volunteer opportunities. Please reach out to Jonah Dart-Mclean to discuss future park clean-ups or information on adopting a park.
