(City of Pocatello Press Release, April 6, 2026)
In preparation for Memorial Day weekend 2026, the City of Pocatello is inviting community members to take part in the “Adopt-A-Section” initiative at Mountain View Cemetery.
This program offers local groups, organizations, families, and friends an opportunity to come together to help beautify the cemetery while honoring those who came before us.
Participants are encouraged to organize a group of 6 to 10 volunteers to assist with cleanup efforts between Monday, May 18, and Wednesday, May 20. Groups should bring essential tools such as trimmers, mowers, rakes, and gloves. To sign up and select a section of the cemetery, visit pocatello.gov/975.
The program provides a meaningful opportunity to:
- Create a rewarding volunteer experience
- Strengthen community pride
- Honor the legacy of those interred at the cemetery
In recognition of their efforts, participating groups will have their organization’s name displayed on a sign in their adopted section for two weeks, along with public acknowledgment of their service.
For questions or additional information, please contact the Cemetery Office at 208-234-6195 or visit in person, 1520 South 5th Avenue. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
