Trees for Capitol Hill (TFCH) is a non-profit community group dedicated to restoring the tree canopy of the Washington, D.C. Capitol Hill neighborhood. As volunteers we work to help renew, restore, and refresh the diversity of trees that make Capitol Hill so pleasantly green.
For thirty years we have been beautifying the sidewalks and streets travelled and admired not only by locals but by tourists from around the world. We rely on volunteers and donations to continue this tradition of making Capitol Hill a beautiful neighborhood.
TFCH organizes a day of tree planting each year, typically the second Saturday of November. We work closely with the DC Department of Urban Forestry for permitting and with neighbors for proper site selection.TFCH has a long standing relationship with Merrifield Nursery for tree purchase with Merrifield providing a certified arborist to give guidance on correct planting.
