Tree Cutting Along W&OD Trail in Reston

Looking west toward Reston Town Center
at Old Reston Ave
Dominion Power recently clear cut a section of trees and other vegetation adjacent to the W&OD Trail in Reston, just east of Old Reston Avenue. We contacted NOVA Parks and asked why the trees, which were not close to overhead power lines, had to be completely cut down. We were told that Dominion has agreed to work with NOVA Parks to try to get more native, low-growing vegetation in the area. From NOVA Parks:
The work being performed in the area is part of the habitat restoration going on along the W&OD Trail and other areas throughout the region by Dominion. The trees removed will be replaced by suitable vegetation (to be determined) that is native to our region and also safe from future interference with Dominion's transmission lines.  NOVA Parks met and reviewed the area with Dominion as we normally do whenever work is performed on the trail.
