The Great Falls Citizens Association, in conjunction with Fairfax ReLeaf, organized a tree sapling program this fall. On Saturday Oct. 29 and Sunday Oct. 30, local residents picked up about 400 free tree saplings they had ordered earlier through GFCA's website. ReLeaf and GFCA volunteers disperse some of many native species that will enhance the community for many years, including white and red oak, elderberry, dogwood and loblolly pine. ReLeaf is a private non-profit organization of volunteers formed in 1992 to plant and protect trees in and around Fairfax County, preserve native habitat and educate the public about the benefits of trees. ReLeaf has supplied and planted thousands of trees throughout the County.
