Arbor Day may not officially be until the end of April, but that didn’t stop volunteers in Reston from marking the event a little early.
Friday morning at the Old Trail Natural Area, 70 volunteers and Reston Association staff participated in the community’s an Arbor Day tree planting. The event was a collaboration between Volunteer Reston and the National Wildlife Federation.
According to volunteer supervisor Ha Brock, RA celebrates Arbor Day earlier in the spring so it can stand alone from other Earth Day festivities in the community.
“A big thank you to all our volunteers,” Brock said. “Our work would not be possible without the work of our dedicated volunteers.”
A video showcasing the morning’s work is available on the Volunteer Reston Facebook page.
