THE LEAFLET
Do You Have What it Takes to Don a Red Vest?
Our fall volunteer season is here! The calendar is chock a block full of events with us – inventories, plantings, classes, workshops, meet-ups and more! This means a few things:
- We make work towards our mission of restoring, enhancing, and protecting the tree canopy of our nation’s capital and our shared city goal of 40% tree canopy by 2032
- There are more opportunities to get outside, get dirty and volunteer with us!
- More urgently, it means we need more folks like you to step up in bigger and greater ways and help us guide volunteers and lead teams!
