TREE PRESERVATION
In 2024, we started a new and innovative program, with a 3-year almost $190,000 grant from the Virginia Department of Forestry, to offer free tree care to two low-income neighborhoods in the city.
With this grant, we will offer free tree care to preserve mature trees in two low-income areas of the City. Preserving existing trees is even more important than planting new trees, which can take 15-20 years to provide the benefits of existing trees.
