Join the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, Virginia Interfaith Power & Light, and Friends of Fonticello Park for a tree planting at Fonticello Park (also called Carter Jones Park) on October 26!

What?

Volunteers will work together to plant a variety of medium-sized trees. Most trees will be in 7–15-gallon pots, so they are easy for volunteers to move. The trees will cool our city, filter air and water pollution, stabilize soil to reduce erosion and reduce carbon emissions.

When?

Saturday, October 26 from 9 am - 12:30 pm. The rain date for this planting is October 27, 9:00 am - 12:30 pm

Where?

Carter Jones / Fonticello Park is located at 2715 Bainbridge Street.

What should I bring?

No prior experience is necessary! All tools will be provided, as well as gloves and instructions needed for a successful planting. Wear weather-appropriate clothes, sturdy shoes, and bring your own water bottle. Please register in advance so we can bring the appropriate number of tools.
