Queer Urban Tree Identification and Reflection - Washington, DC
May 9, 2026 — 10:00 am - 12:30 pm ET
Last day to register: May 7, 2026
Celebrate spring and rebirth with TVOP! TVOP Volunteers will lead a lesson on tree identification followed by a walk through a quiet residential neighborhood. We will learn the names of common trees and there will be time to reflect on what we've learnt together.
This event is for anyone who's ever wanted to know about the trees on their local commute and who want to connect with their local (urban) ecology. We hope that participants can walk away with a new way to feel connected with their surroundings and find peace in the midst of urban chaos.

Information for our land acknowledgment was gathered from nativeland.ca, which provides an estimate of original indigenous land occupation, but does not take into account migratory patterns or movement of the many surrounding communities. We recognize the historical complexity of indigenous movement across the land, and honor with gratitude the many, many surviving native nations whose land we benefit from in our work to diversify the outdoors.
