Planting for the future: Students from North Side’s Barack Obama Elementary School plant a young dogwood tree with the help of Luke McCall, a Dominion Energy forester, on April 23, just a few days before Arbor Day. The first-graders in Kerry Richardson, Liz Pearson and Carla Lewis’ classes have been studying the importance of trees as part of a free environmental education program developed by the utility company that is now in its 13th year.
