Photos: Planting trees with Friends of the Rappahannock
October Greenfield, of the Friends of the Rappahannock River, guided volunteers through the process of planting trees along the Spring Street entrance to Yowell Meadow Park. In a collaboration with the town, the trees will help prevent flooding in the area and prevent bank erosion. For more details, see the 4/15 edition of the Culpeper Times.
