<p class="MsoNormal">Oregon Commission on Historic Cemeteries is partnering with SOLVE to bring cemetery cleanups into the statewide
<a href="http://solveoregon.org/what-we-do/solve-beach-riverside-cleanup">Beach & Riverside Cleanup</a>, presented by the Oregon Lottery. Many of these cemeteries were established in the 1800s and are in need of helping hands to remove invasive weeds and woody
debris, clean headstones, and assist in other tasks. Cemeteries all over the state, Canby to Coos Bay to Gold Hill are sprucing before Veterans Day and the onset of winter. All cleanups will take place on September 23 unless noted otherwise. To see a complete
list of cemeteries and sign up visit the SOLVE website, <a href="http://www.solveoregon.org/historic-cemetery-cleanups">
