Give for a Greener City and Planet
In 2025 we will continue planting and sustaining the greenspace of the nation’s last Grand Avenue. We will continue to showcase how a busy commuter route can be “greened” by local activism.
Your gift in 2025 enables us to:
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. The core of our program is careful choice of species, sites and stewards.
Sustain the trees we have
Canopy in our Project Area grew by 13% in the first ten years of our program of local owner care for trees on city and private land. Later, on one full mile of our two mile route, road rebuilding over two full years threatened many trees. Today we offer:
Treekeeping meetups where anyone can learn how to help young trees;
Professional tree services as needed;
Protection of legacy big trees by teaching about their benefits and sharing the District’s tree protection rules.
Complete and preserve the Grand Avenue landscape
Our program to improve the historic vistas of two miles of Embassy Row is under way. Improving views of Sheridan Circle is just one plan for the coming year.
Spread knowledge
Hundreds of people travel daily on our tree-lined sidewalks and roadway. Hundreds of embassy diplomats have the chance to learn about city trees. Your gift can improve our education and outreach locally. In 2025 we should spread our online presence, improve our web site and educational materials.
Strengthen our capacity
Our dedicated volunteer Board and Associates, experts and friends have made RMA into a respected local NGO. We’ve come a long way from nearly 20 years ago. RMA should become stronger to continue “re-greening” the Grand Avenue and sharing knowledge of how local action can bring large results.
