When you need to say thank you, consider a gift that will last a lifetime: the gift of trees. Through Reforest Fairfax, a partnership between the Fairfax County Restoration Project and Fairfax ReLeaf, five native trees will be planted for each gift you give, and a beautiful card and certificate will be sent to your recipient.
By giving trees, you will be helping to ensure a beautiful and healthy place to live and work long into the future. Trees clean our air and water, protect our streams, prevent soil erosion, lower city temperatures, and boost property values. When you give the gift of trees, you're not just saying thank you; you're helping to plant our future.
To learn more or to give a gift, visit Reforest Fairfax.

Thank you for your interest in the Virginia Conservation Assistance Program (VCAP).
Unfortunately, our statewide funds for this program have been exhausted and we are not currently accepting new site visit requests. The statewide VCAP steering committee will be applying for additional funding and new program criteria are being developed in advance of potential funding.
If you would like to be notified when information on the new program is available, please send an email to conservationdistrict@fairfaxcounty.gov.
