Join us for a beautification project at the National Tidal Basin. Volunteers will become Urban Foresters and help maintain the National Urban Forest at Washington Monument Grounds. Urban forestry is associated with the care of individual trees and tree populations in the urban environment. Together we can ensure that future trees and wildlife will have an opportunity for a healthier life leaving a legacy for future generations to enjoyand expand upon.

We will participate in a special project in laying down wood chips in the Tidal Basin.  Please understand that the needs of the park vary and assignments are decided upon based on those needs.  The projects are equally important, and your work is appreciated by all of the park staff.  Please see below for additional project specifics and details.
