Come work on this exciting habitat restoration project!

The Lockwood/Elmwood sernior housing complex is a partner in the "Stretch Our Parks" program to restore habitat in and around parks to improve and expand habitat for birds and other pollinators and wildlife. Property management and implementing partners Northern Virginia BIrd Alliance, Arlington Regional Master Naturalists, and Tree Stewards of Arlington and Alexandria remove invasive plants. In Novermber, the team planted 30 woody and herbaceous native plants generously donated by the Earth Sangha Wild Plant Nursery. We, and our dedicated volunteers, will continue to remove invasives and care for the newly planted natives. Come join us!
