Cherokee Brave Dogwood Planted in memory of Ron ByrdCherokee Brave Dogwood Planted in memory of Ron Byrd

We are in the process of planting a few Dogwoods on the upper path of the TRWA just down from the Roadside Specimen Garden. The first is a "Cherokee Brave" Dogwood that is planted thru donations in memory of Ron Byrd, who passed away this year. Mark Seder planted this 1.5 in diameter, 9 footer on Sunday December 15th, 2019 and placed a temporary marker until we place an order for additional anodized aluminum markers. It looks great and is the first of at least three that will be planted.
