Lancaster Cemetery Beautification & Spring Cleanup

Join Let's Go 1-2-3, Lancaster Cemetery and Lancaster Northeast Neighbors for a beautification and clean-up event at the Lancaster Cemetery. Spring is a great time to plant and help our community beautify and care for this exceptional, 20+ acre green space! The Lancaster Cemetery is located at the corner of East Lemon Street and North Lime Street. Parking is available on the cemetery grounds.

Please sign up to help us clean-up the cemetery and plant more natives.

Volunteers receive a FREE native tree or shrub to take home! Plus, learn more about native plants in Lancaster!

Volunteers are needed to:

• add native plantings to several cemetery plots
• light pruning to trees/shrubs and cut back herbaceous vegetation
