City Installs Thousands of Trees and Shrubs
The city began replanting the Stafford Drive stream restoration site on Dec. 8. Plantings include 2,800 trees and 6,650 shrubs. Streambanks will be fortified with 8,600 live stakes.
Several super clumps will be installed. Super clumps are concentrated areas of plantings designed to discourage animal grazing, increase survivability, and establish dense vegetative cover faster. Planting is expected to be completed by January.
Work on the rest of the project is proceeding on schedule. Nearly all the stream restoration work is complete, and crews are now restoring the one remaining outfall channel near Fair Woods Parkway and grading the upstream end of the site. For project information, visit Engage Fairfax.
