Water By-Cycle

For four years, Casey Trees has deployed its Water By-Cycle fleet to access and water trees in neighborhoods with limited street parking and heavy vehicular traffic during D.C.’s hot summer months.

Each team, led by a crew chief and supported by High School Summer Crew members, travels by street bikes to Casey Trees-planted tree locations across the District. The lead bike is attached to a custom 6 foot cargo trailer carrying hoses, safety cones and free tree care literature. Water is accessed from fire hydrants and transported to individual trees by hoses and 5-gallon buckets.
