Bicyclists: Celebrate Earth Day on the Met Branch Trail

Bicyclists, celebrate Earth Day and show your support of D.C.’s newest biking and walking trail by participating in a Community Tree Planting on the Metropolitan Branch Trail. Casey Trees and Rails-to-Trails Conservancy will host the event on Thursday, April 21 from 3pm to 6pm. Volunteers are needed to plant 25 trees along the trail in the Eckington and NoMa neighborhoods. Trees planted will provide much needed shade on the trail, making it more inviting and enjoyable for all trail users. Whether commuting home from work or enjoying a springtime ride, bicyclists are encouraged to participate. Riding your bike and planting trees – a great way to double your Earth Day impact!

For more information and to register as a volunteer, visit Casey Trees’ website. Snacks and drinks will be provided and all volunteers must wear close toed shoes.

This Community Tree Planting Day is made possible by leadership funding from the Coca-Cola Foundation, in partnership with Rails-to-Trails Conservancy as part of the Metropolitan Grants Program.
