Falls Church tree planting volunteers will have a robust planting list this fall, according to a statement released by the F.C. Village Preservation and Improvement Society this week. Each event will begin with a brief demonstration and refreshments before teams fan out to plant trees. Dirt-friendly clothes, boots or heavy shoes and gloves are among the things suggested, and those with a long-handled shovel are encouraged to bring it. Still, there will be plenty of extra tools, and children must be chaperoned.
Tree planting events (in case of heavy or steady rain the rain date will be the following Sunday afternoon at 1 p.m.) are: 1. Saturday October 24 at 8:30 a.m. in back of TJ Elementary School (223 W Cameron Rd., Falls Church City, 2.
