Give for a Greener City and Planet
In 2025 will continue planting and sustaining the greenspace of the nation’s last Grand Avenue landscape. Our program will continue making this busy commuter route a model of local green activism. By helping RMA, you’ll make Washington a greener city.
Your gift in 2025 means we can:
Plant good trees
Many sites along the two miles of Embassy Row need new trees after years when planting was impossible due to road construction. also storms hit old trees.
Sustain the trees we have
Restore Mass Ave’s program of local owner care has been essential to the growth of tree canopy in our Project Area since 2007. Canopy increased 13% in our first ten years! Then the construction came. Today we offer:
Treekeeping meetups where anyone can learn how to help young trees;
Professional tree services as needed;
Protect Embassy Row’s legacy of large trees by sharing the District’s rules and appreciation of their benefits.
Spread knowledge
Hundreds of people walk and jog along sidewalks here and hundreds more work in embassies in the lovely buildings that line the Grand Avenue. Your gift can improve our education and outreach locally. In 2025 we should spread our online presence, improve our web site and educational materials.
Infrastructure and trees
Our two policy initiatives aim to benefit the city: (1) Fixing city roadbuilding to better protect trees – our lessons from the MARP Mass Ave rebuilding of 2017-2023. (2) We continue to push the Department of Transportation and other key parties to design and install the Dupont Tree Plaza where Mass Ave meets Dupont Circle where Embassy Row begins. Time and expertise are needed to advance these projects.
Complete Sheridan Circle’s unique landscape
Our program to improve the historic vistas of the Sheridan statue and park at the heart of Embassy Row is underway.
Strengthen our capacity
Restore Mass Ave’s “re-greening” program is a model in the city and internationally. A stronger RMA can be more effective in showcasing local action and results.
