This is very upsetting. I have not had the priviledge to visit Green-Wood. I worried about what damage Sandy could do when it was first said that she was headed that way. I have ancesters buried in Green-Wood and was wondering how can we find out if there was damage to their graves?

Thank you!

Hi! Although I live in NJ, it was my cousin across “the pond” who alerted me to the cemetery’s faring in the storm. Can you check on Attleseys graves and let me know if cleanup rehab is needed?

Thank you! Where do we send/address donations?

Our Monk Parakeets are hardy breed. I really don’t think they had any trouble during Hurricane Sandy.

Green-Wood is on my wish list of things to do on next visit to NY. So sorry to see how much damage Sandy did. What happened to the green parrots that nested in the gateway? Are any of them still around?

I am very sorry you missed the tour. We have done these Moonlight tours for several years now. However, this was the first time we started the tour when it already was dark–it was the only way we could schedule this tour, given my schedule for this fall, with anything close to a full moon. My concern was that, once we started the tour and it had been going on for some time, late arrivals would not have been able to find us–to catch up to us–in the dark. So we locked the gates 10 minutes after the tour began. We will contact you in the hope of making amends.

This pictures are so sad. I drove 4 hours to go on the tour Saturday night. We arrived 15 min. late and the guard would not allow us to enter.I told him I had seen a group of ppl at the entrance and that we had driven a long way to get there. But, He would not allow us in. At least the $40 we spent for tickets is going towards clean up.
