FOREST VIEW CEMETERY CLEANUP

Join the Friends of Forest View for a weekend workday at Forest View Cemetery, a historic African American burial ground. Volunteers are needed to help clear overgrowth and remove brush. 

Tools, gloves, and water will be provided. Please bring a reusable water bottle and a snack. We recommend wearing long sleeves, long pants, and sturdy shoes. Children are welcome, as long as they are supervised by an adult.  

WHERE: Forest View Cemetery, 4909 Bassett Avenue, Richmond, Virginia. From Forest Hill Avenue, turn onto Westover Hills Boulevard. Turn right onto Bassett Ave, and then turn right onto Forest View Drive. The cemetery will be on your right and is enclosed by a rope fence. Please park along the road in front of the cemetery. We will have a sign-in table near the cemetery entrance. Please be sure to stop and sign in.
