We Tree DC…with your help!

• Volunteer at a Community Planting or Stewardship Event

We work with neighborhood groups to plant trees on public and private property each fall and spring. In the summer, we water and mulch young trees across the city. Join us! We will provide all the tools and instruction, you provide the desire to plant and care for a tree!

Volunteer as an Organized Group. For 10+ people, you must first register with Volunteer Coordinator, Carol Herwig, cherwig@caseytrees.org.
