Program overview

Project Plant It! is a partnership among Dominion, the Arbor Day Foundation and elementary schools in regions served by the company. Project Plant It! was successfully piloted in 2007, when nearly 8,000 elementary school students in Greater Richmond, Va., learned about the value of trees in our ecosystem and how to recognize and care for trees. Project Plant It! enhanced the classroom learning experience and increased comprehension of subject matter to meet state learning standards content by providing a hands-on experience to for each child.

Results of last year’s pilot program showed that elementary school students learned about the value of trees, including how they help to moderate climates, improve air quality, absorb carbon, harbor wildlife, prevent soil erosion and reduce heating and cooling costs. In celebration of Arbor Day, students planted trees with their classes and families. This year’s program will reach nearly 20,000 students in four states, or more than twice as many as last year, culminating with Arbor Day celebrations on Friday, April 25.
