Casey Trees

Land conservation isn’t just for vast, wild landscapes—it’s for cities, too. 🏙️

We're thrilled to announce our first conservation site in Prince George’s County.

Donated to us by a local resident, this quarter-acre lot in Riverdale Park is now the Ravenswood Community Forest, a permanently protected green space that features native trees, pollinator gardens, and natural play areas, all installed by our team.🌱

Help us find the next great spot for trees! 📍

We’re looking for spaces across DC that can use more shade, greenery, and life. 🌱

In partnership with DC's Department of Energy & Environment, Casey Trees plants trees for FREE on private property across the District, including schools, houses of worship, or neighborhood blocks that could use more shade.

Each tree added to our urban canopy helps make DC a cooler, healthier, and more beautiful place to live. Know a spot? Visit caseytrees.org/nominate to nominate a space for trees. 🌳

Nothing like a Saturday in the park with some free trees! ☀️

We were thrilled to give away 150 trees at this weekend’s Anacostia River Festival! Vibes were high as the park buzzed with Go-Go music, delicious local food, and neighbors energized to head home and plant their new redbuds and serviceberries. 🌱

Moments like this capture what it means to grow DC’s canopy together—that planting trees is not only essential for our environment, but it can be fun, too!

Looking to snag a tree from one of our giveaways? DC residents, stay tuned for more details about our LAST giveaway for the season. 👀

Summer may be around the corner, but these blooms are still kicking! 🌼

While DC is famous for its cherry blossoms, many trees still flaunt showy flowers through May and June. Look high and low for these pops of color throughout our city’s diverse tree canopy—before summer heat takes them away! 🥀

Ready to add one to your property? These beauties are available through our free tree program at caseytrees.org/free!

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! Whether it’s planting a tree, identifying a leaf, or learning why trees matter, our Education Team works year-round to guide and inspire students across the DC area. 📝🍎

We are endlessly grateful to our team – Melinda, Madeline, Emma, and Carl – and all our education partners! By cultivating curiosity and a love for the environment in our students today, their work sets the foundation for a greener, more resilient urban forest tomorrow. 🌳

We were proud to join partners and advocates for the Green Budget Day of Action to call on the DC Council to restore critical funding for the District’s green future.

The proposed budget cuts would gut many of the programs that maintain our parks and natural areas, make energy more affordable, clean our rivers, and bring environmental education to schools.

From budget hearings to council offices, we’ve been speaking up for the funding that keeps our city green and resilient. 🌳💧💚

How does DC’s tree canopy score this year? 📝

This year’s Tree Report Card is officially here, in which we analyze the state of DC's tree canopy. In a year marked by important milestones, including the 25th anniversary of Casey Trees, we're proud to reflect on the progress we've made to protect and grow DC's tree canopy.

There’s a lot to be proud of in this year’s report card—and a lot of work to do to reach our 40% tree canopy goal. 🌿
