Help Has Arrived!

Since Hurricane Sandy hit, Green-Wood’s grounds crew has been working overtime to fix the place up: first the roads were cleared, then it was time to cut up the destroyed trees and repair the broken monuments.

But there is a tremendous amount of work still to be done; the clean-up is not expected to be completed until next summer.

With all that remains to be done, Green-Wood is very thankful for the help we have received from students at our PENCIL partner school, the Williamsburg High School for Architecture and Design.

Williamsburg is the only high school in America offering a comprehensive college-prep preservation curriculum–and Green-Wood’s stellar restoration team has been offering hands-on training to these students for several years.

They study architecture, preservation, math, and photography in their classrooms, then come out to Green-Wood to apply, and expand, their knowledge.
