Hosted by Virginia Interfaith Power & Light

Virginia Interfaith Power & Light is giving away free trees on May 30 to residents living in Jackson Ward, Northside, Southside, Eastend, Church Hill, or Randolph as part of our Cool the City campaign to reduce extreme heat in the city’s hottest neighborhoods.

By planting trees at your residence or business, you can help cool your block, improve air quality, reduce flooding, and make your neighborhood healthier and more resilient.

Join VAIPL and Cool the City on Saturday, May 30, at Third Street Bethel AME any time between 12 and 5 p.m. to receive a free tree and learn how to take care of it through a tree maintenance workshop. This event is free and open to the public, but advance registration is requested.
