Join Casey Trees as we partner with Forbright Bank to plant trees at Stanton Park!
In honor of America’s 250th anniversary, we’re planting 250 trees across DC’s national parks with National Capital Parks-East, a unit of the National Park Service. Join us to help plant and welcome 19 trees at the historic Stanton Park, part of this milestone campaign made possible by generous donations.
You provide the volunteers, we provide all the necessary tools and supplies to plant the trees. Participants will receive hands-on training on-site. After learning the tools and techniques, participants will be split up into groups supervised by a trained volunteer Team Leader and begin planting trees throughout the space.
If you can’t volunteer but still want to join the celebration, register for a General Admission ticket to learn more about this project and connect with your community.
We’ll send a logistics email with detailed information before the event.
