A RICH, GREEN LEGACY 

The District of Columbia has had a long and rich relationship with its trees. The 1791 L’Enfant Plan specified grand tree-lined avenues. In the 1870’s the planting of 60,000 street trees was an integral part of a massive public works program that, within 20 years, earned the District an international reputation
as the “City of Trees.” 
        
One hundred years later the trees of Washington were suffering and concerned citizens began to take action to regreen the city and in 2001, Casey Trees was established.
