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. 🌳

Perfectly timed for Teacher Appreciation Week, meet our 2026 Canopy Award recipient for Education! ✏️

Garfield Elementary School in Ward 8 has become a model for hands-on, experiential education, connecting students with food, learning, and the natural world. Through partnerships with FoodPrints and Casey Trees’ Nature Near Schools program, students experience outdoor and garden-based education that brings lessons to life and deepens their understanding of healthy communities. 🍃

As Principal Rolle says, it’s the duty and responsibility of educators to prime students for our ever-changing world. We’re endlessly grateful to Garfield Elementary for empowering the next generation to see themselves as caretakers of their schoolyard, neighborhood, and environment. 💚

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. 🌳💧💚

To Rebecca Renard-Wilson, nature is freedom. Instead of selling her family’s quarter-acre wooded land, Rebecca chose to place her childhood home into a conservation easement with Casey Trees 🌿

Now this land and its trees are protected forever.

In the face of development pressures, Rebecca’s decision reflects her lasting commitment to green spaces. We’re honored she trusted us to be stewards of her land and are thrilled to award her the 2026 Canopy Award for Sustainability 🌳

Stay tuned next week to hear from our final Canopy Award honoree!

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. 🌿

Meet our 2026 Canopy Award honoree for Partnership 🌱

Formed in 1927, the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission (M-NCPPC) stewards nearly 70,000 acres of parkland across Prince George's and Montgomery Counties.

Behind every acre of parkland is a team of people who genuinely care about the land. Casey Trees and M-NCPPC have partnered on numerous tree planting and afforestation projects in PG County, including rewilding 70 acres of turfgrass at the former Lake Arbor golf course. We’re so grateful for this partnership and can’t wait for the work that’s yet to come. 🌳

Stay tuned next week to hear from another Canopy Award honoree!
