All –
Hope everyone is doing well staying hydrated in this steamy summer weather. FOLO continues to be quite busy and I hope you are able to join us in person for our site visit on August 17th in Norfolk at Lambert’s Point Park and our meeting afterwards at the Lambert’s Point Community Center! Folks from Friends of Lambert’s Point Park will be there as well.
If you receive this email and haven’t yet been to one of our meetings, we welcome you to join us “regular attenders” as we pursue our mission to promote, protect, preserve and plant live oaks in our area. We really need your ideas, energy and help!

Please email any suggested additions or changes for the agenda or calendar to me.
At this month’s meeting we will be focusing on new business, and discussing how the events since our last meeting have been going (focusing on laws, ordinances and regulations at the City and State level related to tree preservation and replacement, upcoming spring events, reviewing our progress on meeting our adopted goals for 2026, and ideas on how to step up our public awareness efforts for FOLO and our mission).
Come join us and get involved with us on these and other efforts! We welcome your ideas and input and hope you will join us in person or virtually.
