Casey Trees

@1a Additionally, we've mapped out "pollinator pathways" in the city, with the goal of planting in these key areas so birds, bees, and other pollinators can navigate our urban environment safely.

@1a If you want more butterflies, songbirds, and shade on a hotter planet, start by planting a tree—then build the rest of your garden around it. As a nonprofit, Casey Trees plants free trees for DC residents and many cities have similar programs.

@1a Trees are the backbone of backyard biodiversity! One well‑placed native tree can cool a yard, soak up stormwater, support pollinators, feed birds, and create habitat in even the smallest spaces.

Trees are nature's air conditioners and one of the best tools we have to fight climate change. We’re excited to be featured in this important piece from @ClimateStepsUS about how trees cool and heal our cities. climatesteps.org/2025/08/11/roo…

Over 30 protected Heritage Trees at RFK face removal after the DC Council advanced legislation granting developers blanket permission to cut them down. It's unacceptable. Sign our petition calling on the Council to preserve as many of them as possible 📣 caseytrees.org/2025/08/sign-t…

NEW: Instead of giving in to development pressure, Rebecca Renard-Wilson decided to protect her family's quarter-acre of woodland in Anacostia—forever. Read about her decision to place the land under a conservation easement with Casey Trees (from @wcp): washingtoncitypaper.com/article/769409…

Since 2020, Ward 8 has lost more healthy trees to development than any other ward in DC. While the city boasts strong tree protection laws, developers are still undeterred by fees and fines–cutting down thousands of healthy, mature trees each year. holacultura.com/how-developmen…
