About this Event

The Blue Line Corridor Coalition Food Forest Project is a placemaking and healthy food access initiative led by a partnership between LISC DC, The Capital Market, and Joe’s Movement Emporium GreenWorks Program and designed to transform underutilized vacant lots in the Blue Line Corridor into vibrant, community-rooted edible landscapes.

Volunteers will come together to support the GreenWorks team in preparing a site and planting trees, shrubs, and groundcover that contribute to long-term community health and stewardship. This is a great chance to get your hands dirty, meet new people, and help cultivate a community space that everyone can enjoy. No experience needed—just bring your energy and enthusiasm and we'll provide the neccessary training and materials.

Examples of volunteer activities include:

  • Digging holes
  • Transporting, planting, and watering trees
  • Laying mulch
  • Pulling vines/weeds

Refreshments will be provided.
