Saturday was a big day for volunteers on Mason Neck. At Meadowood Recreation Area Boy Scout Vincent Kolakowski helped coordinate a tree planting and land reclamation event for his Eagle Scout project. With the help of the Friends of Meadowood, Mason Neck Lions Club, The Bureau of Land Management and Fairfax ReLeaf, volunteers were organized to help dig holes and plant trees. Trees were planted in accordance to their tolerance to different soil textures, wetlands, shade and other natural conditions, and included Bald Cypress, Silky Dogwood, Common Persimmon and American Hazelnut, to name a few. Just north of Meadowood a group of Gunston Elementary School sixth-graders gathered in front of the school to wash cars. They ended up raising $700…

Partnership between BLM-ES and FCPS
Earlier today a 1,240 foot long trail was dedicated in a ribbon-cutting ceremony behind Gunston Elementary School. The trail connects to the trail system of the Meadowood Special Recreation Area. The trail is a result of partnership between the Bureau of Land Management-Eastern States, which manages Meadowood, and Fairfax County Public Schools. Following a ribbon-cutting, about two dozen volunteers braved cold April weather to help tidy up the area around the trail now that it is open to the public. The Mason Neck Lions provided snacks and refreshments and donations were accepted by the Lorton Community Action Center. Surrounded by hardwood forest, Jeff McCusker, Site Manager at Meadowood, is optimistic that the trail can be an …

Unexpected passing leaves a void among loved ones
When Ayanna Stewart was in tenth grade at Paul VI High School in Haddonfield, N.J., when she took one of those career aptitude tests that high school students have come to dread. When the results advised her to become a teacher she thought it was the last thing she would ever do for a living. When informed of her decision, her mother, Delois, told her, "Ayanna you already are a teacher." Young Ayanna had a penchant for the details. "Organize, organize, organize. That was what she liked to do. And she was really good at it," Delois Stewart-Heath says about her daughter now. Ayanna agreed and began charting a course for a career in education. Mrs. Stewart-Heath saw a lot of herself in her daughter. "I used to tell her that she was a little …
