A Nature Lover's Dream
The Historic Section of Moravian High Acres Cemetery in Canadensis, Pennsylvania
Green burial at Moravian High Acres Cemetery serves as a way to preserve Pocono Mountain heritage. The site dates back to 1848 and has been an important part of local history since. It is located in Canadensis, a small town in Barrett Township in northern Monroe County, Pennsylvania. The unusual name can be attributed to the scientific name for the eastern hemlock tree, Tsugas Canadensis.
