Back Up and Running: Register for an Upcoming Event

Summertime and the living is easy. Now that we can safely meet up outside to restore, enhance, and protect DC’s trees, it’s the perfect time to dip your toes back into the Casey Trees waters!

We have plenty of events:

Tree planting is important, but do you want to know what our urban forest really needs? Care! We need your help watering, weeding, mulching, and ensuring the survival of our saplings so they can grow into the mature canopy trees we so desperately need.

Community Tree Care: Keene Field | Saturday, August 7 | 9:00 am | Free | Register Now
You provide the volunteers, we provide all the necessary tools and supplies to care for trees. Participants will receive a short, hands-on training on site. After learning the tools and techniques, participants will split up into groups and begin caring for trees throughout the park.

Community Tree Care: Gallatin St NE | Saturday, August 21 | 9:00 am | Free | Register Now
Your help with weeding, mulching and watering these vulnerable trees will give them a leg up in becoming an important part of our growing tree canopy.
