Join the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, Virginia Interfaith Power & Light, and Friends of Fonticello Park for a tree planting at Carter Jones Park (also called Fonticello Park) on October 19 as part of Richmond Tree Week!

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 19 from 9 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.

Do I need to sign up?

Yes! Please sign-up using the button below. You must sign up to volunteer by October 18. If you have any questions, please contact Ann Jurczyk via email at ajurczyk@cbf.org or by phone at 804-258-1522.
