Free Tree Campaign for Adams Morgan
Welcome to the Free Trees for Adams Morgan web site!
The Adams Morgan neighborhood in DC boasts a substantial amount of history and vitality. Unfortunately we've lost a significant part of this history and vitality recently. Many lovely old growth trees in Adams Morgan have been cut down in the past 5 years. The trees we lost provided shade for housing and sidewalks, played their part in reducing global warming, and saving on your energy bills. It's time to replace what we have lost so our community can reap the many benefits of trees.
We have an opportunity to replace the trees for free! The Casey Tree Foundation solicits applications two times a year for free neighborhood tree plantings. The next application is due in Fall 2008. We just need to submit an application for a minimum of a dozen trees to be planted.
We hope you'll help out in making it possible to plant new trees and do your part to enrich the Adams Morgan environment.
Here's how you can help out:
We'll be providing updates on the campaign and suggesting ways that you can help out whether you own a house or live in an apartment.
