Petra Casarez, DLA senior enlisted leader; and Air Force Brig. Gen.

From elk roaming open fields to pollinators buzzing around wildflowers, the Virginia Master Naturalists got a front-row seat to see how Defense Supply Center Richmond doubles as a conservation classroom during a Sept. 5 tour that drew more than 15 members eager to learn about the Bellwood elk herd, wildlife habitats and prairie restoration efforts.
Employees and community members from Defense Supply Center Richmond participated in the installation’s annual 9/11 Remembrance 5K Walk/Run Sept. 11, honoring the lives lost in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
