Opening reception for a new exhibition by Brigette Newberry (who teaches at Open High) happens across the river tonight at ArtSpace.

Speaking of trees…The Adopt-A-Tree deadline is fast approaching and applications must be received by September 2 (since September 1 is Labor Day). Trees are planted from November 1 to April 15.

Recognized as a successful program that is helping to replenish and sustain community street trees in the city, the Richmond Adopt-a-Tree Program is helps protect one of Richmond’s most precious assets and valuable resources. The total estimated value of Richmond’s urban canopy is $211 million.

Community street trees help reduce noise pollution, reduce flooding and stormwater runoff, enhance air quality, add aesthetic beauty, and help you save energy.
