The Berlin Area Historical Society does not hire a grounds keeper.
Volunteers keep the grounds
(which aren't large) for 3 of our buildings and the 4th is located in one of
our parks. The city crew
just includes the area around our building when they are doing the park. (We
only own the building,
not the grounds it sits on).
We have, in the past, paid a young man who lived next door to our 3
buildings to cut the grass and
shovel snow but they moved and now a member takes care of it all.

Subject: How do you manage your grounds?
Hi list serve! The board at my organization is looking into options for
managing our grounds.
Does your organization hire a grounds keeper? Does a local government
provide one for you? Do volunteers do all of the grounds keeping? If it is
some combination of the three, what are the percentages? What has your
experience been with how it works out for you?
Thank you!
