Riparian Buffer & Tree Planting in Romney, WV

The West Virginia Division of Forestry and West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection recently collaborated with West Virginia Schools for the Deaf & Blind (WVSDB) and the City of Romney on the Potomac Valley Project CommuniTree event. This tree planting event was held on May 2, 2009 at the WVDSB campus in Romney, West Virginia. Volunteers donated their time to assist in the planting of 20 urban landscape trees on the upper portion of the campus and 600 feet of riparian buffer along Big Run, which flows through the lower section of the campus.
