Join the Chesapeake Bay Foundation and Virginia Interfaith Power & Light for a tree planting at Oak Grove Playground on November 16!

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, November 16 from 9 am - 12:30 pm. The rain date for this planting is November 17, 9:00 am - 12:30 pm. A planting demonstration will start at 9:05 am.

Where?

1500 Melton Ave, Richmond, VA, 23223

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.
