Thank you for helping us reach this historic milestone!

Beginning in 2025, Casey Trees launched an ambitious campaign to raise $125,000 to plant 250 native and historic trees across historic federal parks in the nation’s capital. In July 2026, we celebrated the campaign’s completion in time for the United States’ 250th anniversary on July 4.

In partnership with National Capital Parks-East (NACE), a unit of the National Park Service, this was an opportunity to carry on our natural heritage in honor of our nation’s important milestone.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of neighbors like you, we did it — $125,000 raised to plant all 250 trees across these historic federal parks.

Each one is a living tribute to DC’s past and a gift to its future.
