Learn more about the trees in your neighborhood. Aside from IDing trees, we will talk about trees’ many benefits to our ecosystem and the ecological impact trees have in our environment. We’ll also cover some tree care.

Since leaves are falling now and some trees may be bare in a couple of weeks, this will be an early opportunity to test our winter tree ID skills!

The group will meet in the parking lot of the Fort Ward Museum, 4301 W Braddock, Alexandria, VA 22304. The walk will be a one-mile loop and last about two hours. This walk will be co-led by Scott Knudsen, Tree Steward, and Ginny McNair, Master Naturalist.

We’ll be having a spring community clean-up, in honor of Earth Day on Saturday, 23 April. As everyone spruces up their yards now that the weather is getting warmer, we’d like to improve the looks of our common areas too – the median strip on Fort Williams Parkway and the island on Fort Worth Avenue. So, everyone is encouraged to come out on 23 April, 9:00am until noon at either of these locations. Clean-up along Fort Williams median will be along the whole street – from Seminary Road to Duke Street. Bring a pair of work gloves, a spade to dig up weeds, your yard waste container, wheelbarrow, or a trash bag. Plan to bring back to your home whatever you pick up and put it out with your yard waste during the next week’s trash collection. This is a great opportunity not only to beautify our neighborhood, but it’s also a terrific idea for a community service project for many of our younger residents!

SSSAS will host a campus tour and Q&A session for neighborhood residents to discuss future construction plans at the upper campus. Plan to meet in the lobby. If you have questions, please contact Beth Chase, bchase@sssas.org.
