The master plan for the graveyard expansion that was presented to the membership last year included several phases that would be implemented over many years depending on the need for additional space and budget considerations. The initial phase of the plan, for which funding was approved last year, included the maintenance of existing trees, planting of new trees, and a detailed survey of the existing graveyard.
The executive committee has received quotes for services from two local Charlottesville companies to provide the tree maintenance as well as the tree plantings. The tree maintenance activities will commence this spring while the tree plantings are scheduled for the Fall of 2011.
