Cave Hill Heritage Foundation
The Foundation serves three distinct purposes
2. To preserve the arboretum setting
On average, fifty trees are removed each year at Cave Hill Cemetery due to disease, old age, or weather damage while over 100 plants are replaced. The Cave Hill Heritage Foundation will help provide resources for the unexpected, as well as help preserve and sustain the beauty of the cemetery’s arboretum setting. It will provide for the removal and replacement of specimen trees and shrubs while ensuring that future generations will have access to this amazing green space in the heart of Louisville.
