Using new tools paid for by generous donors as well as a lot of sweat and energy the Rohatyn Jewish Heritage and the Matzevah Foundation managed to clear roughly 80% of the large site of grasses, weeds, shrubs, vines, thorn brush, and small trees, revealing the hundreds of headstone fragments gathered there by RJH over the last seven years, and establishing a basis for future rehabilitation work.

They also learned a lot about the tools and the process, to help to conduct similar projects in Rohatyn in the future and support other volunteer organizations in the region. See the AP video below & read this article by Jay Osborn to learn more about the project just completed, and the people who helped.
