Re: [Cz-L] The cemetery. What else?

Andy,
  The trees look young ? What you see is just the outer margin of the
   forest. But young or old ,they must go.
   The big ones are in the middle and not photographable from the perimeter=
.
     Bursuc was there all the 70 long years ,if there was a caretaker ,he
    would certainly know.
      By your reasoning ,20 years ago the cemetery was a neat place.
     It was not. It is for us to do the job.
       The Czernobyl reactor blast was 20 years ago and not too far away.
        Radiation enhances vegetation growth ,maybe the answer lies there.

It might be useful to find out who it was that had cared for the cemetery
and, if they still exist, to get them involved as well.
