The Cemetery Resource Protection Training workshop focuses on cemetery care and protection. Participants explore cemeteries as historical resources while learning about laws that protect them, conserving headstone and markers, managing cemetery landscapes, and practicing hands-on headstone cleaning with a D-2 solution. By the end of the course, participants are well-versed in issues surrounding basic protection of historic cemeteries and are encouraged to fill out at least one Florida Master Site File to record a historic cemetery over the next year.
The morning session will be held at the Fleet Reserve Branch 290 located at 390 Mayport Road. Doors will open at 9:45 and we will start promptly at 10am. Coffee and lunch will be provided thanks to sponsorship by the Blank Check Society Duval Beaches.
The afternoon session will be held at Pablo/Mayport Cemetery located at 1515 Wonderwood Lane. We will meet in the cemetery at 2pm.
Registration is $10 to cover supplies and materials. Contact Emily Jane with questions at emurray@flagler.edu.
