Capital Trees is working to create a greener, more liveable Richmond through the thoughtful planning, planting, and maintenance of public green places.

NEW PROJECT ALERT! In August 2024, Capital Trees will break ground on the Hotchkiss Green (project updates).

A Civic Square for the Neighborhood: James S. Christian, Jr., Park Transformation Begins

At the intersection of Chimborazo Blvd., Oakwood Ave., and P St. sits a small urban space with a handsome memorial celebrating the life of Richmonder James S. Christian, Jr. A brief biography about Mr. Christian can be found here: https://encyclopediavirginia.org/entries/christian-james-s-1918-1982/

The Church Hill Central Civic Association (CHCCA) reached out to Capital Trees to help apply for a grant to create a beautiful and functional open space at this intersection, in the heart of the community.
