NEWTON SERVES--HISTORIC BURYING GROUNDS CLEAN-UP
Newton ’s three historic burying grounds need your help! A tough winter has created more than the usual amount of debris. Spring cleanup will include raking leaves, collecting dead wood, trimming invasive plant growth, clearing perimeter fences,and removing trash. Help maintain these treasures of Newton ’s history. Equipment provided, but bring rakes, gloves and tarps if you have them. Register with NewtonSERVES to volunteer at East Parish (17th century), West Parish (18th century), or South Burying Ground (early 19th century) atwww.newtoncommunitypride.org/NewtonSERVES-volunteer.php . Three hours maximum, but come when you can; leave when you must.
