Must commit to full session
Join us in October for another visit to the beautiful and peaceful resting places of New Hampshire! PIT volunteers and Forest Service staff will travel to several different cemeteries within and near the White Mountain National Forest to clean headstones, trim vegetation, and make repairs. As before, this year's project will be in consultation with and in service to the local communities and cemetery associations. We hope to have the project coincide with the beginning of the fall colors of New hampshire, which will provide a lovely and inspiring setting for our work.
This project will operate a little differently than in years past. This year, volunteers must apply to the PIT Clearinghouse. Applications will be forwarded directly to the project leader for review, but please apply soon: we will only take applications until the project is filled! We hope to see you this fall!
