We have some allies in our efforts to promote a greener Williamsburg: the Arlington Beautification Committee. Established in the sixties, this committee was formed to "enhance the aesthetics of Arlington" through:

  • Planting and maintaining beautification projects in public areas such as median strips, where there is heavy automobile and pedestrian traffic. Beauty is contagious! Private homes and commercial areas follow the model of beautification through landscaping!
  • The Notable and Neighborhood Trees Program that locates and identifies special trees. Trees may be notable due to size, age, species and historical significance. They may be on private or public lands. An inventory of these treasures is being established in a database. The contact person for this program is Lola Owens, (703) 525-0220.
  • Planting and maintaining new trees annually in public areas.
  • Growing from seed perennial and annual flowers in order to contain costs.
  • Creating an awareness and appreciation of beauty in our lives through education of the public. For example, slide presentations of before/after beautification projects are presented to community organizations.

The Beautification Chairperson/Founder is Elizabeth Weihe (703) 527-5146. The Department of Recreation and Community Resources staff contact is Rebecca Feldberg (703-228-6521).
