Event Details

REGISTRATION REQUIRED
Registration deadline: October 25

Join the Chesapeake Bay Foundation for a tree planting at Fonticello Park.

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.

No prior experience is necessary! We will provide all tools, 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.

Please keep in mind that we have limited the number of volunteers who can participate in this event. If you find that your schedule or health prevents you from being able to attend, please notify us immediately so we can recruit another volunteer in your place.

This event is co-sponsored with Virginia Interfaith Power & Light and is a part of the RVA Arbor Day 2024 celebration.

The rain date for this planting is October 27, 9:00 a.m.-12:30 p.m.

Funding for this tree planting is provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency through the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation's Chesapeake Bay Stewardship Fund.
