Home / Blogs / Altria Supports Greening of Richmond, VA
August 23, 2016
In 2012 the Alliance will plant 1500 native tree seedlings and trees in the city of Richmond and surrounding counties. This new project is a part of the Alliance’s Healing the Land Initiatives. This work is made possible through a generous grant from Altria. To help implement this new project, we are proud to announce a partnership with Hands-On Greater Richmond who will help with volunteer coordination of the tree planting events. Our plan is to engage local watershed and community-based groups and members of the local corporate community in learning why trees are so important to help protect clean water in streams and rivers and to enjoy a day (or more) of volunteering to plant trees. This work will help the City of Richmond and the Commonwealth of Virginia to achieve local clean-up plans for the James River watershed and create a greener City.
More information on this project will be available soon.
