Today is the day! A day to give back. When you support Capital Trees this #GivingTuesday, your gift will make an impact on the Low Line Green. What’s the skinny on the Low Line Green?
➡️It’s located on the western end of the Low Line along the Virginia Capital Trail
➡️It will be a new green place for walking, biking, lunching and gathering. ➡️It will use a functional rain garden to filter stormwater runoff from I-95 and the Downtown Expressway.
➡️It will bring more of Mother Nature back into Shockoe Bottom.

Ready to pitch in? ➡️ capitaltrees.org/get-involved/donate/

Tomorrow is #GivingTuesday. A day for giving back.
