Cool Trees

Welcome! We're glad you're here. BV Cool Trees is a community partnership based in Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains. It is a collaboration between the city of Buena Vista and Boxerwood Education Association.

​

Thanks to a new urban forestry grant from the Virginia Department of Forestry, BV Cool Trees will plant 250+ trees in Buena Vista over the next 3 years, while also strengthening civic engagement and youth service-learning. The City's new trees will soak up rain, prevent erosion, cool down hot city streets, and beautify our downtown, all at no cost to residents. Everyone benefits!

​

BV citizens can get involved by having trees planted on their property, helping out on planting days, volunteering on the new BV tree board, caring for our trees, and more.
