Through a community effort, many of the stones have been saved from the underbrush and moved to a cleared area so they can be seen - this was done in an attempt to salvage what remained of the cemetery from the ravages of nature after the bank of the river eroded in a flood around 1974. Unfortunately, some stones were lost in that event and will never be found. A wrought-iron fence is still standing in the nearby bush.
The cairn shown in the photos was built from some of the salvaged headstones after the flood, and can be seen on Concession 6, but the cemetery cannot be accessed from there.
