关于我们
Linden Grove Cemetery is an historic cemetery that is situated on 22.3 acres in the City of Covington, bounded on the east by Holman Street, on the north by West 13th Street, on the west by Kavanaugh Street, and on the south by Linden Avenue. Linden Grove Cemetery was officially consecrated on September 18, 1843 on land originally owned by the Western Baptist Theological Institute. Benjamin Grove, a landscape gardener, was the designer responsible for the Cemetery’s layout. Over the succeeding decades, the Cemetery continually fell into disrepair and neglect. The situation degenerated to the point that in 1948, the Kenton County Circuit Court ordered the Cemetery property placed into receivership. Until 1998, a series of Trustees, appointed by the Court, was responsible for care, maintenance, and financial management of the Cemetery. Unfortunately, this system proved insufficient to the task of properly maintaining the Cemetery and a new management approach was required. An Inter-Local Agreement for the care and maintenance of Linden Grove Cemetery was executed in 1998 between the City of Covington and the Kenton County Fiscal Court. The Inter-Local Agreement established a Board of Overseers to manage and operate the Cemetery.

We often think of urban trees as simply poles in the ground, islands unto themselves, but they are ecosystems all their own, swarming with vitality. Each sustains life, often in tiny forms: fungi, insects, and other small entities. However, trees’ abilities radiate out from there, and they are, in fact, protectors—and ones that are changing as our climate is changing. https://lnkd.in/gw_A2Z5B

From well-known forests to ones tucked away from the crowd. Thanks to the many Yeses from corporate partners like HP, we’re replenishing forests devastated by man-made and natural disasters. Last year alone, our collaboration with HP resulted in planting nearly 2 million trees in forests of greatest need. These trees are restoring habitat, fighting climate change, and protecting our world. This #ArborDay, we can’t help but look towards a greener future as we continue to support HP’s bold reforestation goal #HPGoBeyond. It takes fearless industry leaders like HP to step forward and be part of the solution to fighting a changing climate. How do you plan to say Yes this Arbor Day?
