Trees, Local History and Sustainable Farming
April 12, 2015 @ 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm
Goose Creek Friends Meeting in Lincoln, Virginia, presents “J. Russell Smith Day” on Sunday, April 12 at 4 p.m. at the Goose Creek Friends Meeting House in Lincoln.
Smith toured the world in the early years of the 20th century as a geographer for the University of Pennsylvania, and returned home with a mission to popularize tree crops as a means to retain rich native soils. At his nursery outside Round Hill, he collected and developed new varieties of native trees. His work is being rediscovered today by three local residents who plan to carry on his work. Join Alex Darr, Pete Walton, and Eliza Greenman for a discussion of this project.
Goose Greek Friends Meeting House is located at 18204 Lincoln Road, 20160.
