My wife found this and keeps suggesting that we help out and do it as an Open Carry Group Event. It would be interesting but I can't because I have to work on that day.

RICHMOND, Va.
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Preservationists are seeking volunteers armed with trash bags and rakes for a spring cleaning of Civil War sites, from battlefields to cemeteries.
The clean up is scheduled for April 10 at approximately 100 historic sites in 23 states. The event is called Park Day and it's recognized by the U.S. Interior Department as a "Take Pride in America" event.
This is the 14th edition of the volunteer roundup organized by the Civil War Preservation Trust. In exchange for routine repairs and maintenance, volunteers are rewarded with T-shirts and can listen to historians discuss significant milestones in the Civil War.
Among the sites to be cleaned up include the Wilderness Battlefield in Virginia, Antietam in Maryland and Wilson's Creek in Missouri.
