Join LERN and The Reedy Creek Coalition for a 1-hr walking tour through Crooked Branch Ravine, one of Richmond’s hidden gems. Topics covered during the walk will include tree identification, the role of trees in protecting water quality and reducing heat islands and the impact of invasive plants on the tree canopy. The second hour will be devoted to removing some English ivy plants that are threatening a high-quality forested area of the park. We will also plant some small trees and shrubs to enhance the understory.
