Join me this Saturday, February 15, at a great tree-planting party in Richmond's North and East Neighborhood.

Richmond Trees is a wonderful community-led initiative which has planted more than 200 trees in Richmond so far, with plans to expand its effort around the city.

Trees have so many benefits for our community - they fight global warming by absorbing CO2, clean our air, cool our streets, conserve energy, reduce violence, and add unity to our neighborhoods, among so many other benefits.
