How is DC’s tree population? One local nonprofit has the answer

There are many benefits to trees: they keep you cool with shade, they absorb traffic noise, they’re pretty and they’re good for animals. So, how is D.C.’s tree population doing?

The answer comes from Casey Trees, a D.C.-based nonprofit whose mission is to enhance and protect the tree canopy of the District. They not only plant and care for trees, but they also lobby for them by making recommendations to policymakers and property owners.
