GARDENING AND ENVIRONMENTAL GROUPS
(Send us your additions)
Casey Tree Endowment Fund - Their mission is to restore, enhance and protect the tree canopy of the Nation's Capitol (but they do SO much more). E.g., they train tree stewards, organize tree plants. Check out their cool Tree Map.
DC Dept of Environment's Watershed Protection Division - It may be a mouthful but Gilda Allen's Schoolyard Conservation program and countless other environmental education programs and projects are having an impact. She's a true friend to DC's green community.
Weed Warriors of Montgomery County - they don't remove invasive weeds; they provide excellent training under the auspices of Carole Bergmann. She's also available to show her awesome PowerPoint presentation about the problem.
The Potomac Conservancy works to protect and restore land and water in the D.C. area.
The Wild Ones advocate native plants in natural landscapes and work to preserve and restore native plant communities.
