The Trees of Alexandria and Northern Virginia

Learn about the trees native to Northern Virginia from the arborist for the City of Alexandria.

Please join us for a virtual presentation on the local and native trees of Northern Virginia and Alexandria's Urban Forestry program by Andrew Benjamin, Arborist with the City of Alexandria. Then on Saturday, September 25 from 10 AM to 12 PM, visit the Jerome "Buddie" Ford Nature Center for an in-person guided hike through the trees of Dora Kelley Nature Park (adjacent to the center). Registration for these two events is separate.
