Annually, the Neighborhood Tree Planting Program collaborates with schools, civic groups, and community groups throughout DC’s eight wards and National Landing in partnership with Casey Trees to plant new trees and educate groups about tree care and maintenance. The Festival has successfully planted hundreds of trees in the District.
