Community Tree Planting

Since 2001, our flagship Community Tree Planting program has helped add thousands of trees to private, residential, and commercial property across DC and the nation capital region. We take great joy in working with community organizers to plant trees to make their neighborhoods more welcoming — and help them address concerns unique to their site such as flooding, air quality, noise pollution, and lack of shade. The Community Tree Planting program also fosters community involvement by encouraging residents to participate in tree planting events. This not only beautifies neighborhoods but also strengthens community ties.

Upon submission of the Community Tree Planting application below, a Casey Trees arborist reaches out to discuss planting options tailored to the applicant’s specific site conditions. For the planting event, Casey Trees assists in recruiting volunteers and provides all the necessary tools and supplies to plant the trees. On the day of planting, participants receive a hands-on training on site, are split up into groups, and supervised by a trained volunteer Team Leader to begin planting trees throughout the site. Get your community involved today!

Please note that the Community Tree Planting program is not intended to fulfill street tree planting requests. Requests for street tree plantings should be made through 311 Online.
