Wow, from talking to some of the volunteers at the tree planting today, a diverse group came out to help plant the trees!
There were students, scouts, the Leesburg Host Lions Club and more who came out for the tree planting at Ida Lee Park in Leesburg.
At least 87 people came out with shovels and gloves in hand and while it started at 9:00, they teams made short work of the planting with most of the trees in the ground by 10:30.
Nice job to everyone who came out! This tree planting will restore a riparian buffer along Big Spring Creek and will help improve water quality in our community.
