[HistoricCemeteries] National Cemetery Workshops offered

[Kuri Gill]

These are usually offered twice a year around the county. This would qualify for Oregon Heritage's EW Potter Scholarship (next application in early summer).
 
*National Preservation Institute Offers Two Seminars on Cemetery
Preservation*
 
The National Preservation Institute is offering two seminars to be held in Stafford, Virginia. The first seminar, "Cemetery Preservation" will be held April 17-18, 2013, on initiating cemetery preservation and restoration projects and ensuring sound choices are made. Discussions will focus on current issues in cemetery preservation, such as recording and documenting cemeteries, preservation efforts, and exploring conservation techniques and issues. Instructors for this seminar are Michael Trinkley, Director, and Debi Hacker, Conservation Administrator of Chicora Foundation, Inc., a nonprofit heritage preservation organization specializing in research, public education, conservation, and preservation for museums, archives, and historic organizations.
 
 
 
Hacker will also teach the second seminar, "Cemetery Landscapes: A Practical Guide to Care and Maintenance," on April 19, 2013. The seminar focuses on protecting historic cemetery landscapes, preserving the integrity of design, and safeguarding tombstones and monuments, while pursuing a practical outlook on maintenance and budget concerns. The seminar will explore approaches to caring for softscapes, or plantings, and hardscapes, including roads, pathways, and benches. Discussions will also focus on effective pruning and cutting techniques, when chemicals and heavy equipment can be safely and productively used, and the basics of short- and
long- term preservation plans.
 
Agendas are available online at www.npi.org. These seminars meet the criteria for programs in the American Society of Landscape Architects
(ASLA) Continuing Education System. ASLA members will receive 6 learning units each day.
