Twenty Four members of the public attended an informal workshop on Wednesday February 15th, filling the Lovettsville Room at the county government building. The unique riparian buffer tree-planting project is funded by Loudoun County and will be administered by the Loudoun Soil and Water Conservation District. The project will provide funding to plant a total of ten acres of forested buffer along streams on non-agricultural properties. Staff from both Loudoun County and the Soil and Water Conservation District was on hand to answer questions, including Laura Edmonds and Dana Malone of Loudoun County and Suzanne Brown, Kris Dennen and Chris Van Vlack of the Loudoun Soil and Water Conservation District. Jim Christian, Director of the Loudoun Soil and Water Conservation District also attended.
