This week brings with it two special occasions. Wednesday is Earth Day, and Friday is Arbor Day.
In celebration of these days, the town will host a brief tree dedication ceremony on Wednesday, April 22 at 10:00 am at Whitelow Park. This ceremony will commemorate the planting of a grove of poplar trees in the hope of growing the tallest tree in Virginia by the end of this century.
We will also host a special event at Sandy Bottom Recycle Center between April 22 and April 25. Residents can visit the center during regular operating hours to learn more about the wide variety of materials it accepts. There will be refreshments, and residents can receive a free recycling bag as well as a tulip poplar seedling to plant at home (while supplies last)!
So come see us at the Recycle Center this week!
