Sterling Connell, a Kent resident, Meeker Middle School student and Eagle Scout candidate spent his Saturday working at Ravensdale Cemetery to begin its restoration.
Miners killed in a coal mine explosion were buried there and Sterling and 63 other volunteers cleared out the grave areas, clearing brush and blackberries.
Cedar Grove Composting donated the yard waste recycling fee and the company was happy to help Sterling, donating 6,000 lbs of yard waste recycling which was delivered Saturday in 10 truckloads by Sterling’s crew of volunteers.
Sterling organized a total of 275 man hours on the day of the project.
For the miners killed in that explosion and buried there, Sterling’s work made a huge difference. Way to go, Sterling!!!
