Dunston Ave. Tree Planting on Sunday

The rain prevented this event from happening last weekend. The weather forecast is looking good for Sunday so the tree planting is on for Sunday.

Where: Grassy area between Dunston Avenue and Reedy Creek from Roanoke Avenue east to Bland St.

Why: Planting trees along streams is one of the best ways to improve water quality. A buffer of trees along Reedy Creek will help prevent pollution from entering the creek, stabilize the stream banks from erosion, and create wildlife habitat.

Who: Team effort of the Reedy Creek Coalition, Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay, and the City of Richmond. Native trees will be provided through the Alliance’s community conservation and restoration programs.

When: Sunday, March 13, 2011 from 2:00 – 4:30 pm

To volunteer, please contact the Reedy Creek Coalition at:
