It takes a community to grow an urban forest! Tree Stewards is looking for a few hardy folks to plant some trees in Alexandria! Please join Tree Stewards of Arlington and Alexandria in planting native canopy trees in Ben Brenman Park in Alexandria, VA. Tools, gloves, and refreshments will be provided. Please dress for the weather and wear long pants and closed-toe shoes. No experience is necessary, as Tree Stewards will provide instruction on how to properly and safely plant a tree.
