Virginia Capital TrailCool the City Tree Giveaway
Southside ReLeaf will provide up to 200 free trees to City of Richmond residents through its Cool the City campaign, focused on easing extreme heat in the neighborhoods that face it most. Planting a tree at home or at a business can cool a block, improve air quality, reduce flooding, and support a healthier, more resilient community. Each household may reserve as many as two trees. Choices will be offered in 2-gallon and 3-gallon containers. Two-gallon trees are typically about 10 inches to roughly 2.5 feet tall, and three-gallon trees are usually around 1 to 3 feet tall. Seedlings will also be available for students, renters, and households without yard space. The giveaway takes place in the parking lot of Liberation Church. Trees should be picked up in person. A small number may be available for walk-ups, but reserving in advance is strongly encouraged. For neighbors with limited mobility or transportation, volunteers can coordinate delivery and planting assistance upon request. Residents who are able to pick up are asked not to request delivery so that support can be prioritized for those with the greatest need. Because this effort addresses the urban heat island effect, first priority goes to Richmond residents in zip codes 23224, 23225, and 23234. Any Richmond resident can submit a request, and remaining trees will be allocated to other city zip codes if supplies allow.

Sarah Glenn Marsh returns for an in-store conversation with Sara Raasch about her new novel, Our Rogue Fates. The book follows former best friends Griff Sayer and Mal Pryce, now at odds, who are swept back into each other’s lives after a job Mal arranged leaves Griff badly hurt and their childhood friend Alys steps in to help. To secure his freedom and protect Griff, Mal accepts a four-week ultimatum to recover an ancient prize hidden in Rotrose Mire, a perilous swamp tied to the disappearance of Alys’s father, Rhun. Guided by Rhun’s map and a broken blade, Mal heads out with Alys and a reluctant, newly single Griff. Along the way they face eerie threats and monstrous dangers, rebuild trust as old feelings resurface, and realize a mysterious figure is tailing them with loyalties to neither their parents’ adversaries nor to would-be heroes. The result is a second-chance, spicy Achillean romance with the adventurous feel of tabletop questing, a fit for fans of Critical Role. Marsh is a devoted fantasy reader whose work spans picture books, middle grade, and young adult, and this novel marks her adult debut. She lives in Richmond, Virginia with her family and a lively collection of pets, including a turtle named Muffin. Raasch is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of multiple books for teens, including the historical romantasy duology Witch and Hunter co-written with Beth Revis, as well as romances for adults.
