The newly-planted trees on county-owned land near the bridge crossing the Occoquan Reservoir are just saplings, but in time, they will grow and create a little ecosystem.
“After probably the second year, you’ll start seeing birds on the young trees,” said Tim Hughes, environmental specialist with Prince William County Public Works Environmental Services Division. “Then, the natural vegetation and grasses start growing. Once the forest grows in, after about five years, it looks natural.”
