Our Neighborhood Trees are Thirsty - Lend a Hand!
Our friends at Casey Trees remind us that:

As the summer heat intensifies and the effects of climate change become increasingly evident, it is crucial to recognize the significance of trees in our urban environment. As we know – trees offer shade, improve air quality, and enhance the beauty of our cities. However, the District’s ongoing drought, coupled with below-average rainfall, has put our beloved street trees, residential trees, and other trees across the city at risk.

Visit their web page to learn more about the importance of watering and tips on how to help trees in your yard or sidewalk trees who need a drink.
