Cushing Cemetery is starting its spring cleanup early this year due to the storms and snows that we have had. As you can see the trees, bushes and roads have taken a beating.
To adhere to the rules of the board of health and the landfill, we now have trash barrels and recycling barrels set up at both buildings. These barrels are the same as your household barrels. Please, no sticks, dirt, leaves, stones or any other biodegradable materials are to be put into these barrels.
Please start removing your Christmas decorations from your gravesites. You can bring your decorations home with you or you can put them by the barrels or into the trailer by the garage.
If you have been in the cemetery lately, you will notice that our roads edges are getting run over and muddy. The only place that a vehicle should be is in the road. Not on the grass or up to your gravestone.
When the road dries out enough we will grade, fill in holes and hopefully edge the roads so they have better eye appeal.
Please remove all bells, wind chimes, birdhouses and brackets from the trees. Putting nails, screws and other objects into the trees is unhealthy for them. You will also notice that a number of trees have to come down; this is why we have to protect the trees we have left.
Please, no dogs allowed in the cemetery and no doggy bags in the trash.
