$450,000 project aims to stop shoreline erosion at Leesylvania

Wave action along the Potomac River continues to erode the shoreline at Leesylvania State Park in Woodbridge.

This summer, the park will begin work to prevent shoreline erosion with a new project that calls for placing rocks that sills, or jetties parallel to the shoreline. Sand and aquatic plants will be placed behind the rocks. As plant life grows, the roots will hold the sand in place, and rocks will help stop erosion caused by wave action.
