Capital Trees

We recently recognized our “Volunteer of the Year” and presented him with his award. Glenn has been volunteering with Capital Trees since March of 2025. In our 2025-2026 fiscal year, he volunteered an incredible 43 times, adding up to 148 hours! He’s part of the group that volunteers with us on a weekly basis to perform ongoing maintenance tasks, helped build picnic tables at the Hotchkiss Green, and has served as a volunteer leader at multiple community and private workdays. Thank you Glenn, for your commitment to helping us take care of these vital greenspaces and for sharing your knowledge with others.

Great Shiplock Park, the Low Line Gardens, and the Low Line Green remain closed along the Virginia Capital as crews continue to clean up after the train derailment last week.

Please stay clear of the Low Line while the crews work hard to clean up from yesterday’s train derailment. Thank you to everyone working in this heat to help clean up the mess!
