Carp

The county acquired 80 acres of land, adjacent to the Appomattox Canoe Launch with bond-referendum funds and also was awarded a grant from the state’s Department of Conservation and Recreation to construct a conservation area and trail. The John J. Radcliffe Appomattox River Conservation Area was dedicated last year and construction of the first three-quarter mile of trail has been completed. Another half-mile section will be finished this summer.
Over the past year, a group of business and civic leaders has been working on a master plan that will improve landscape and pedestrian safety along Chesterfield Avenue in Ettrick. The first phase will begin this summer.
In April, the Chesterfield County Department of Utilities released triploid grass carp into Swift Creek Reservoir in order to combat the hydrilla plant. A total of 10,500 carp were released and there will be an ongoing program to monitor the water quality and growth of the plant.
