Restore and Beautify Your Property
September 15, 2011
All of the work on the HOT lanes in the Washington DC area has had quite an effect on the environment. We worked with the Fairfax County Restoration Project to produce a brochure directed at homeowners and HOAs effected by the construction. The brochure outlines ways that they can replant with native species to restore and beautify their properties while providing a home that is beneficial for wildlife. It will be distributed at a workshop titled, "Restore and Beautify Your Property With Natural Landscaping." This first free workshop is scheduled for Oct. 8th at the Braddock District Supervisor's Office. Read more about it here and download a pdf the brochure. You don't have to live directly in the affected area to help revegetate Fairfax!
The workshop and brochure were made possible by a grant from Transurban Fluor. The brochure is posted on the Fairfax County Government site which meant I had to make it an accessible pdf. Glad to have learned how to do that! To learn more about the Fairfax County Restoration Project, visit their site at: www.fcrpp3.org

My name is Dorothy Banzon and I’m a graphic designer, mom, lover of the creator and all of creation. To me, taking care of God’s creation and living the way He intended us to live is what being green and the move towards living sustainably is all about. I also believe that a lot of problems can be solved by good, clear communication. As a graphic designer, I quest to find ways of telling the truth simply and effectively. No matter what your beliefs are, I hope you will find some truths in my pages.
