Planting has begun on the 2025-2026 Reforestation project
On Monday Sept. 29, BFNP Weed Warriors planted 10 Winged sumacs, two 15-gallon Pin oaks, and two 15-gallon White oaks.
Purchase of these plants is made possible by the Martin Family Foundation which awarded FOBFNP a grant to augment an existing grant from the Virginia Department of Forestry. This additional funding from the Martin Family Foundation will allow us to acquire significantly more plants including some larger trees and bushes as well as woodland perennials/groundcovers. These funds also allow for the expansion of the planting area beyond the original half-acre area.

Members of the 2025 Richmond Tree Steward training class gathered at the park on Sunday Sept. 30 for a Tree ID Lab
Morning and afternoon sessions were held where trainees honed their ID skills and learned about the diversity of trees at BFNP
