Update
I found the owners of the land today. They run an RV park here
and were cutting down trees to make room for more RV spots. There is
definitely a risk of encroachment on the cemetery. They have had some
people come in and do some cemetery "clean up" before and were very
dissatisfied because they said the groups cut down trees and let them
lay, rak
