1000 Trees for the Lynnhaven
"The creation of a thousand trees is in one acorn"
All of our trees may not have acorns, but we are working hard to get 500 native trees planted in Virginia Beach this year!
Trees help with stormwater management, provide important habitat to wildlife and insects, shade for enjoyment, clean our air, increase home value (10-20%!), reduce energy costs (10-15%), and are beautiful.
We have a wide variety of native trees available for various size spaces and environmental conditions. If you are uncertain what tree might be appropriate for your yard (or faith community or school!), please contact us or check out plants.usda.gov or arborday.org.
For the complete list of available trees.
To order your tree(s), contact Trista or Dana at 757-962-5398 or Trista@LRNow.org.
We will accept orders until late summer/early fall, so that we can get everything planted before winter temperatures set in.
