Join the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay and the City of Richmond’s Parks & Rec team for a tree planting of tiny proportions! Help plant 83 tree saplings in a high-density “mini-forest.” Come get your hands dirty and learn how this style of reforestation not only dramatically increases biodiversity in a small area but can also act as a “carbon sink” and mitigate stormwater runoff.
