​Adopt-A-Tree Program

Groundwork Richmond is providing street trees for your home!

Groundwork Richmond is working to increase the urban tree canopy in marginalized communities in Richmond include: Santa Fe, Coronado, and Iron Triangle neighborhoods with the help of residents and community partners.

​Together we have planted hundreds of trees. Residents actively take part in the watering and care of the trees, as well as benefit from the beauty of a tree right in front of their homes. Groundwork Richmond offers support in tree plantings and after-care assistance.
