Help Save
Over 1,000 Trees in
Washington, DC
12.57 acres of mature woodland east of the Anacostia River can be protected forever and revitalized as a community forest-created with neighbors, for neighbors, in a community where green space is needed most.
Over 80% of the land purchase is already funded. Your gift today helps close the gap and protect the Hillcrest Community Forest for our city’s residents, wildlife, and climate.
WHAT'S AT STAKE
Right now, the likely last large privately-held forest east of the Anacostia River is at risk of disappearing forever.
Home to more than 1,000 mature trees, the Hillcrest Community Forest filters 12 million gallons of stormwater and removes 824 pounds of air pollution every year, benefits no newly planted forest could match for decades.
If this forest is lost to development, it's gone forever. But if we protect it, we ensure that this extraordinary green space continues to serve the neighborhood, the environment, and future generations of Washingtonians.
Every $5 helps protect one square foot of forest,
and every gift of any size makes a difference.
Your gift helps buy this land, then restore it and
open it to the community.
