Gum Springs Community Tree Planting
Saturday, May 11, 2002
9am till noon
Join with several groups in planting native trees along the Paint Branch, the home of metropolitan Washington’s only long-term wild brown trout population. Forested buffers
help slow soil erosion, improve water quality, and provide wildlife habitat. This event is for adults, families, groups,
and individuals. Come for an hour or the whole morning. Refreshments provided. The holes for the trees will be bored in advance. Bring a shovel and work gloves if you have them. Follow the dirt road at the end of Gladbeck Drive (Colesville/Good Hope area) to the planting site.
