Grace Capital City is working with EEN to increase tree coverage in low canopy areas of the DMV starting with houses of worship – trusted community centers within these neighborhoods- in an effort we call the Tree of Life Project. We’re providing these partners with free trees, training, a toolkit, elbow grease, and initial ongoing maintenance to make it happen!
Join GCC’s Justice Director Hannah Martha Cohen Banks from 7:00 PM – 8:00 PM for an online webinar where we’ll share about the Tree of Life Project and how to get involved!
Why would you attend?
Trees provide necessary shade and cooling, especially in urban areas where concrete and asphalt retain heat in high temperature days. These increased temperatures add physical stress to our most vulnerable populations including the elderly and our children. By increasing tree canopy, we protect our loved ones and keep our energy costs down. Develop resilliency for your neighborhood by planting trees for generations to come.
