The Virginia Department of Highways expects to finish this spring a major reforestation effort. About 250 000 Virginia pine seedlings have been planted since last summer and 150 000 white pine seedlings will be planted this spring along state roads. The project costs about 110 000 dollars and is carried out by the department’s crews. Readings note the 250 000 trees came from the Virginia Division of Forestry while the spring stock was bought from New York State.
