During public input at the Nov. 15 Braddock District Council meeting, attendee Mike Perel (Oak Hill) said his wife, the Braddock District representative to the Fairfax County Tree Commission, is organizing a Fairfax County Tree Forum to be held March 20, 2024, in the Kings Park Library meeting room.
