Forest takes shape near headwaters of Urbanna Creek

Workers prepare to plant small trees on a tract on Urbanna Creek. The tender trees will be stabilized with a stake and protected by long light green tubes that workers are positioning. Someday, this will be a nine-acre hardwood forest. (Photo by Tom Chillemi)

Howard and Ellen Rowlson-Hall, who lived in Middlesex County for many years, now divide their time between Lynchburg and the headwaters of Urbanna Creek, where they have a getaway in the forest.

It is in these quiet woods they feel most at ease. The forest has always been special to the Rowlson-Halls and was a magical place to play for their two daughters, Addie and Celia, when they were growing up.
