The Public is Welcome

Also happening in conjunction with Arbor Day is a professional volunteer maintenance of the trees in
Riverview Cemetery.
This is a very old public cemetery that is struggling financially to keep up with maintenance. Many trees are in a state of decline and pose a hazard to the living. There will be many removals and pruning of large trees within the cemetery.
