In spring of 2020 we completed the Low Line Green which is a reclamation of one and a half acres east of the Flood Wall. The space is capable of capturing and filtering 148,000 gallons of polluted rainwater annually, and will help to improve stormwater quality. We planted thousands of native plants, trees, and shrubs to provide year round beauty, shade, and pollen and nectar for wildlife. Since 2020, we have continued our work to build a greener and more vibrant Richmond by not only increasing tree canopy and public greenspace, but also by managing our completed projects with eco-friendly methods and through community engagement.
Capital Trees continues its decade-long work to build public landscapes and enrich the community and is excited to celebrate its 15th anniversary in 2025.
Last fiscal year, donor and volunteer contributions allowed Capital Trees to accomplish the following:
- Increase in community engagement through volunteer programs
- 90 trees planted across three area parks
- Educational programs on sustainable management, tree identification, canopy assessment, and inventorying
- 90% of construction funding secured for the Hotchkiss Green project
- Advising on park improvements for two neighborhood associations
With your support we’re on track to achieve even more this fiscal year including:
- Breaking ground on the Hotchkiss Green project
- Launching a refreshed brand to reflect our growth and future direction
- Advising on neighborhood park improvements
- Ongoing collaboration on enhancements at Canoe Run Park
