May 4 - Tree Planting at John Adams ES - Conservation Service Hours

Posted by rberlett on May 3 2025 - 12:55am
ON  May 4 from 1-3PM The Alexandria Beautification Commission would like Troop 129  to help out with planting trees. 
The planting is part of the City/ABC "tree equity" project in which trees are planted in all neighborhoods, as some have been shortchanged in the past. 
This group of trees - 10 in all - would be planted at John Adams Elementary School over off Beauregard Street.  Turn onto Rayburn Ave. and then right into the school driveway, and the work is right in front.
