Community Tree Planting Volunteer Events

Plant Trees with the James River Association

After nearly a year of community engagement, planning, and design work, the Greening Richmond Public Libraries team is preparing to implement a green infrastructure site plan at Richmond Public Library’s East End Branch Library that will result in better management of stormwater runoff and more tree canopy in one of the hottest areas of the East End.

Join the James River Association and its partners for a community tree planting event at East End Branch Library this spring!

9:00 am - 12:00 pm

East End End Branch Library is located at 1200 N. 25th Street, Richmond, Virginia. Volunteers are encouraged to bring their own gloves and a bottle of water. Tools and planting instructions will be provided by James River Association staff members.

These community tree planting events are associated with the Greening Richmond Public Libraries and are made possible by our partnership with Arbor Day Foundation and Energy BBDO. The Greening Richmond Public Libraries initiative is supported by Altria, Arbor Day Foundation, Richmond Department of Public Utilities/RVAH2O, Richmond Public Library Foundation, Virginia Department of Forestry, and the United States Environmental Protection Agency through a grant from the VA Department of Environmental Quality. Project partners include Richmond Public Library, Richmond Department of Public Utilities, James River Association, and Four Winds Design.
