Champion Dawn Redwood
The Virginia State Champion Dawn redwood (Metasequoia glyptostroboides) at 3260 N. Ohio St., Arlington, is threatened by a builder's plan to subdivide the large lot, tear down the existing house and build two new houses. The tree is in a resource protection area (RPA) because of a nearby stream. The Williamsburg Civic Association and Arlington Tree Action Group are trying to save the tree by petitioning and writing to the County Board.
