H.E.A.R.T. podcast - Episode 11: Lake Hening Riparian Buffer Planting

Join us for another H.E.A.R.T. Podcast as we share about our most recent “Boots on the Ground” project! Henrico’s Environmental Action Resource Team (H.E.A.R.T.) assembled more than 35 volunteers consisting of members of the H.E.A.R.T. committee, the Virginia Department of Forestry (VDOF), Scouts, Master Naturalists, and local environmental enthusiasts to plant close to 180 native trees and shrubs at Lake Hening, located at the Henrico Western Government Center. This collaboration between H.E.A.R.T. and VDOF will enhance the existing natural riparian buffer surrounding Lake Hening. In a few years, visitors to Lake Hening will be able to reap the physical and mental benefits from this healthier, vibrant, and more beautiful greenspace! With the collective efforts of H.E.A.R.T., VDOF, and local stewards of the environment, Henrico has taken a huge step towards becoming a cleaner, greener community to live in.
