The Big Plant: Radford, VA
March 21 @ 11:00 am - March 22 @ 5:00 pm
The Big Plant is a community event hosted by the New River Conservancy & Nursery Natives.
The event, which began in Blacksburg along Stroubles Creek and continues to this day, is open to the public.
The Big Plant strives to enable positive environmental change for individuals who may think they have no power over their macro-environment. The original cause for the Big Plant was to combat climate change, and while that is still a primary focus, trees can serve as an ecological answer for more than one environmental issue.
This event is primarily funded by New River Conservancy and is a joint partnership between NRC, Dept of Forestry VA, Nursery Natives, City of Radford, Radford Parks and Rec, Radford Beautification and Municipal Forestry Commission.
