What Releaf Cville does
Mission
Releaf Cville is rooted in a simple truth: trees save lives-so we save trees. We protect the health of charlottesville by expanding and maintaining the tree canopy, focusing on neighborhoods impacted by rising heat as the climate changes. We do this by planting trees, preserving mature trees, and educating the next generation of environmental leaders.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Tree preservation we've launched an innovative new program thanks to a grant from the virginia department of forestry, only the second such program in virginia. With this grant, we are offering free tree care to preserve mature trees in fifeville and 10th and page. Preserving existing trees is even more important than planting new trees, which can take 15-20 years to provide the benefits of existing trees.
