Casey Trees will be celebrating National Volunteer Week and the Global Youth Day of Service with a Tree Care Event at the Takoma Recreation Center. Pairing with members of the Adventure Club from Capital City Public Charter School, volunteers will be weeding, mulching and watering the over 60 trees planted at the Takoma Recreation Center through the Community Tree Planting Program!
