Last year, Tree Fredericksburg planted 150 trees in Dixon Park. The 40 volunteers who did all the work came from George Mason University and planted those trees in celebration of their friend’s 21st birthday. They all wrote birthday wishes and buried them under the roots when they planted the trees. A number of the volunteers were from Thailand and had never used a shovel. They wore traditional silk robes with silk shoes, and they dug their hearts out. They plan to come visit the trees after five years to celebrate their friendship. Every tree we plant has a story. Help us keep these stories–and these trees–alive. Next Tuesday, May 3, please contribute what you can to support Tree Fredericksburg (and help us buy the new truck we need to water all these new trees!) during the Community Give.
Every Tree Has A Story
