Casey Trees
A Washington, DC organization that grows trees for the capital's tree canopy on a 730-acre farm along the Shenandoah River in Clarke County.
Casey Trees
A Washington, DC organization that grows trees for the capital's canopy on a 730-acre farm along the Shenandoah River in Clarke County. Casey Trees is one of the county's larger single-purpose land uses, and one whose ownership has its centre well outside the county.
Casey Trees describes its own work in the direct language of its own site: to restore, enhance, and protect the tree canopy of the nation's capital. The Berryville farm — 730 acres along the Shenandoah River — is where the trees come from before they are planted in DC1.
The county holds the site as Casey Tree Farm, a 730-acre working farm growing trees for planting elsewhere1. The word to hold in mind is elsewhere: this is a farm whose product does not remain in Clarke County. The trees mature here and travel to Washington. The economic and ecological benefit lands on both ends of the arrangement, but they land differently — Clarke gets open land under long-term stewardship, DC gets the canopy.
The organisation itself is a 501(c)(3) under EIN 31-1766444, with an address of record in Washington, DC1. Combining the three facts: a DC-headquartered non-profit, a large working farm in Clarke County, and a product that leaves the county on trucks. The arrangement is unusual enough to be worth naming as its own type in the county's institutional landscape.
Three claims establish what Casey Trees does in its own words, what the operating farm actually is, and the corporate identity that owns it. Missing: the acquisition date and instrument for the 730 acres, the specific programme of planting that flows to DC, and any operational partnerships within Clarke. The Casey Trees IRS filings on file would open some of this; the county deed record would open the acquisition date.

Casey Trees is listed as a 501(c)(3) organization under EIN 31-1766444, with an address of record in Washington, DC.
What the source supports
The organization's legal identity and the address the filing index carries for it.
Uncertainty
Casey Trees is registered in the District of Columbia and is therefore ABSENT from the Virginia extract behind this project's inventory -- a documented limit of that universe, not a gap. Its address of record is its Washington headquarters, not the Clarke County farm. Listing is not evidence that the organization is currently operating, and this record establishes nothing about its conduct or its finances.
