Educational Nature Trail in Purcellville to Hold Groundbreaking Ceremony on Oct. 30

News from the Loudoun County Public Schools:

A groundbreaking ceremony for the Chapman DeMary Trail will be held from 2:45 to 3:15 p.m. on Friday, October 30th, behind the building at 205 Hirst Road in Purcellville.

This area, considered to be the last stand of old growth forest in the Town of Purcellville was turned into an outdoor classroom through an effort led by students from Loudoun Valley High School. The educational nature trail was named in recognition of Loudoun Valley science teacher John DeMary for his unfailing support of his students as they worked to make this vision a reality and for John Chapman for his donation of the land.
