The main goal of iNaturalist is to connect people to nature\, in addition to contributing useful global biodiversity data to support science. The opportunities for educators using iNaturalist are unlimited—student questions can drive explorations in nature\, create community-engaged projects\, analyze historical data\, and much more\nOakwood Cemetery contributes to this global resource by documenting flora and fauna on our grounds. By recording all species present\, weather invasive or indigenous we are able helping to build a greater understanding of global\, national and local populations.\nWant to contribute to this global citizen science project but can’t attend our program?\n-Simply: Download the iNaturalist app on any mobile device\n-Photograph plants\, animals and insects wherever you are\, home\, work or your local park. \nSee less

SUMMARY:Grove of Remembrance
DESCRIPTION:At Oakwood Cemetery\, we want to create a unique and collective exhibition inspired by the changes that have occurred over the past year\, affecting how we mourn our loved ones and experience loss. To achieve this\, we have created The Grove of Remembrance starting July 12\, a place where you can write down your fondest memories\, or perhaps just the name\, of your departed loved ones on a biodegradable ribbon and fasten it to the limbs on any of the trees in our crepe myrtle grove located in the front lawn of the cemetery. Our hope is that we can provide an organic opportunity for people who deserve the opportunity to grieve their losses\, and to foster fellowship and togetherness within our community after an extended period of isolation.\n\n\nWe will be hosting an event to encourage support and participation in The Grove of Remembrance for anyone who is interested. In the meantime\, please feel free to inquire at the office on how to begin adorning our landscape with your cherished memories of your nearest and dearest.\n\n\nBoth the ribbon and participation are offered by Oakwood Cemetery free of charge.\nIf you are not local\, but would like us to honor your loved ones\, please let us know and we will assist you.
