Thanks for picking up stuff while you're there! I spoke to the Forest Preserve District today about a permit and I should be getting a fax about it fairly soon. They are also going to supply some materials for us to use on the next clean-up.
This may sound strange, but at the moment the more plants that are growing in and around the cemetery the better. There is a visit by FPD officials in-the-making to assess the ecology of the area. The visit is for various reasons but primarily to start the process in restoring the area and protecting it from various intrusive elements. The GRP may become the primary caregivers of the cemetery, as well as a portion of the surrounding area, so I will be attending the assessment. But it will take a little while in doing some major work out there due to the legal steps involved so it's unclear as to what type of grass/weed trimming will be performed inside the cemetery this year.
Tell John I said hello, he hasn't called in a while and he still has my Light Meter I need to pick up.
