Dahlgren School 3rd and 4th Graders ‘Green Up’ NSF Dahlgren By Barbara Wagner South Potomac Pilot

Naval Support Activity South Potomac (NSASP) Executive Oicer (XO) Christopher Zayatz, members of the NSASP Environmental Department, and third and fourth graders from the Dahlgren School planted trees and cleaned up the Potomac River shoreline at an Earth Day event on Naval Support Facility (NSF) Dahlgren. Zayatz read the oicial proclamation for the event in which Capt. Mary Fein- berg, commanding oicer of NSASP declared for every one tree removed from NSASP, two trees will be planted. Two native willow oaks were planted by the enthusiastic students who took turns shoveling the soil along with Zayatz. he trees are located on the knoll by the Willow Oaks Constructed Storm Water Treatment Wetlands on Sampson Road. Following the tree planting, the group headed to the shoreline of of Sampson Road and spent over an hour scouring the area for trash. heir eforts included three tires, large boards, barbed wire, rebar and lots of plastic bottles and bags. he shoreline clean up and tree planting along with similar events at NSF Indian Head are just some of the many ways that NSASP has done their part to “green-up” the environment as a part of the larger Earth Day initiatives.
