Volunteers help uncover hidden graves at metro Atlanta cemetery  CBS News

Earlier this year, volunteers began a community-wide mission at College View Cemetery to uncover graves of people buried there. Their work has already brought to light multiple areas within the cemetery. The mission addresses burial areas still obscured by vegetation, while also encompassing locations volunteers have already uncovered. It is a community-wide undertaking focused on identifying graves across cemetery grounds where brush and trees continue to cover many areas. The work began earlier this year at the cemetery. Brush and overgrown trees continue to cover other areas at College View Cemetery beyond the sections volunteers have uncovered.

Many parts of the cemetery therefore remain covered, alongside the multiple areas that the volunteers have brought to light. The brush and trees cover additional areas on the grounds, while the volunteer work has uncovered multiple other areas. The covered portions are distinct from locations already uncovered in the community-wide mission. Many more areas remain under vegetation, and the source identifies brush and overgrown trees as coverage affecting those areas of the cemetery there.
