CLM Symposium II explores how historic cemeteries can become living memorials through conservation, education and community stewardship.

The Constellation of Living Memorials Symposium II brings together leaders in conservation, education, historic preservation, community engagement, higher education, and public policy to explore how neglected historic cemeteries can become sacred grounds, living landscapes, and civic anchors for healthier communities.

With CLM moving from a successful two-year pilot into its launch phase, this year’s symposium looks toward what comes next: building the partnerships, community leadership, and framework needed to grow a sustainable movement across Texas and beyond.

Through presentations, moderated conversations, a national keynote, and facilitated small-group discussions, attendees will not simply hear about the CLM model. They will help shape its future.
