Adopt-a-Spot
In cooperation with the Reston Association, the Reston-Herndon Branch has committed to cleaning up the region around the Uplands Recreation Area in Reston several times per year. Everyone is invited to join and experience the feeling of well-being that comes with a “walk in the woods,” while doing our part to clean up the environment.
For each session, the group meets at Uplands Pool and cleans both the trail and the road from the pool to Wiehle Avenue along North Shore Drive. We usually have great weather for all of these outings and it is always nice to take a walk in this beautifully wooded area with friends!
