GBOV is looking for land to establish a natural burial ground. We are looking for at least an acre or 2 in Eastern Ontario that will be accessible year-round. Ideally, it should consist of some wooded and some open space. We would especially like to find an old cemetery that has been taken over by a municipality. Please contact us if you know of land that might suit.
