2025 ST. MARK'S CEMETERY
TREE PRUNING
The annual pruning of the over 100 trees that have been planted to create the arboretum in the cemetery will take place in late fall. Pruning is done to remove deadwood and to ensure the ongoing health of the trees.
CEMETERY MAINTENANCE
The cemetery is looking for volunteers to help keep it neat and tidy. It involves walking the cemetery, picking up any debris, twigs and branches throughout the summer. Some pruning may be required including the ivy in and around the memorial garden.
Anyone who is interested please contact Sally Mitchell at semitch215@gmail.com.
MONUMENT RESTORATION
Al Ernest will be restoring and repairing over 30 historic monuments this summer. This will complete the five year programme begun in 2021. By the end of this year, over 140 monuments will have been restored. There will be some that will require repairs and restoration but the major work will have been completed.
DONATIONS
Donations for ongoing tree maintenance are most welcome. St Mark's issues annual charitable donation receipts for donations totalling $50.00 or more.
