The Virginia House of Delegates commended the Laurel Hill Park Volunteer Team (PVT) by Joint Resolution 257, delivered by Del. Kathy Tran (D-42), in a brief presentation ceremony on Dec. 12 in the Lorton Park. The Resolution recognized the Laurel Hill PVT for its “mission to make Laurel Hill Park as beautiful and inviting as possible and to protect the park’s pristine nature, wildlife, birds, and plants…” The group had been recognized by Fairfax County in 2019, with the Elly Doyle Special Recognition Award, as one of the first groups to collaborate with the County Park Authority through the newly established Park Volunteer Team Program. The group stepped forward early to help refine the program model for coordinating park maintenance efforts between county employees and volunteers.
