So I discovered this little gem while going out on park adventures. Right next to the Blacksburg Department of Parks and Recreation (right behind the Caboose Park) there is a tree nursery. Seems normal enough right? But the sign was the real kicker, just another sign that Blacksburg as a town, not just Virginia Tech really does care about what is going on. Established in 2007 this nursery is giving trees a chance to get acquainted and be used by the local wildlife before they are planted within the Blacksburg city limits for good. Great to know that Blacksburg is giving these trees a chance to flourish and lower emissions rather then just pull them off a shipment truck before planting them. Go Blacksburg! Not the nursery isn’t very big, but there is always room for more growth!
