Trees for Georgetown Party, Sept. 14

Since 1989, with strong support from the Georgetown community, Trees for Georgetown (TFG) has planted and cared for more than 3,000 trees on the streets of Georgetown. Its mission is to maintain the street tree canopy on the residential streets of Georgetown. The group has watered trees in times of drought, inoculated elm trees against Dutch Elm disease on Q Street,  prolonging their lives,  and have removed dead trees and stumps to make way for new trees.

The annual Trees for Georgetown Garden Party will take place 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., Sunday, Sept. 14. This special evening offers friends and neighbors the opportunity to gather to celebrate and support the preservation of Georgetown’s tree canopy. Proceeds fund the long-term care of residential street trees throughout the community.

Casey Trees, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that works to restore, enhance, and protect the tree canopy of Washington, D.C., through tree planting, education, community, action and land preservation, is the fiscal agent for TFG.
