Always ready to serve! Each year, as part of DOEE's All Staff Day, our team comes together to service the community. This year led us to planting at Tanner Park. Our passion and commitment go beyond, protecting the environment- we want to do the things necessary to keep the District thriving and growing. Every tree planted is an investment in a cleaner, healthier and more sustainable DC.

Thank you to all staff who join this project! Because a greener city starts with all of us!
