Front Royal Lone Pine Day

Front Royal’s ACES team (Advisory Committee for Environmental Sustainability) is organizing their annual Earth Day celebration happening in downtown Front Royal and SVR will be there!

Lone Pine Day is named after a locally iconic tree that looks out over Front Royal from its perch high up in Shenandoah National Park, alongside mile marker 3.8 of Skyline Drive. Standing just over an estimated 100’ tall with a 36” dbh (diameter breast-high), the Lone Pine is an Eastern White Pine (Pinus strobus), a native evergreen tree species known for its beauty and longevity. For many, this tree is a waypoint, a waving flag welcoming you back home after a trip away. For others, the pine represents a symbol of strength, a sentinel keeping a watchful eye over the community below.
