Dear Bruce,
Finding a company to do the maintenance is certainly part of what needs to
be done, but maintenance would involve only cutting the weeds once every two
or three weeks from May till the end of September. The initial cleanup
requires the removal of bushes and at least the trimming of trees.
Furthermore, at this point, we do not have anyone to contact and supervise a
local company.
I still think that:
>>
>> We need Information about:
>>
>> 1. The legal status of the cemetery.
>> 2. Herbicides approved for use in the US and Europe, the legality of
using
>> them in the Ukraine.
>> 3. Generally approved mechanisms of cemetery maintenance and
preservation.
>> 4. How to establish a fund and society for the clean-up and preservation
>> of the cemetery. Whether it is advisable to establish a tax exempt fund.
>> 5. Proper, prudent and legal means of managing the fund.
>> 6. Existing organizations which may provide us with expertise and or
money.
>>
>> Anyone who has knowledge of any of the needed information, or
is willing to
>> do the needed research, please get involved and volunteer to supply us
with
>> the needed information.
I have received some information on points (4) and (5) and as soon as I have
time, will send this to the Cz. - List.
Mimi
