Volunteers plant 158 trees at Silver Lake Park; Prince William Times; November 4 2019

With 270 acres, Silver Lake Park is a wonderful place for families to explore the great outdoors. Nearly 100 volunteers of all ages joined us on November 2 to plant 13 large trees along the entrance drive and 135 small trees near the picnic area.

This project was sponsored by Supervisor Pete Candland, Prince William Conservation Alliance, and Prince William County Forest Pest Management, and Prince William County Parks & Recreation.

All the trees were native species, including service berry, sycamore, white oak, northern red oak, dogwood, redbud, flowering dogwood, american hornbeam, tulip poplar, and black gum trees.
