Jefferson St between 12th St NE and Meade Ave. We’ll meet and get started at the area along 12th St NE between 1201 E. Market St (Pixels) and 208 12th St. NE. Everyone is welcome to join us or stop by to say hello and see what we’re up to!

If you are joining us:

  2. Email Julia at juliarubarth@gmail.com so we know that you are joining us and can plan for the number volunteers!
  3. Dress for the weather and the task which will involve walking in the woods or along a slope (sturdy shoes, protective clothing and garden/work gloves), and bring water and tools for the job, if you have them (hand clippers, loppers, pruning saws, hatchets) and please label them. We are likely to have extra tools to loan you.

Applications now open for City E-Bike Grants

The City of Charlottesville has launched a three-tiered grant program to encourage residents to use e-bikes to get around town. The goals of this program are to reduce automobile traffic congestion and reduce the city’s carbon footprint. Launched in 2025, the program has been expanded this year to encourage a broader segment of City residents. ALL adult (18 yrs and up) residents are eligible to apply for a $500 grant toward the purchase of an e-bike and/or certain related equipment from designated vendors. Grants at the $500 level are open to residents regardless of income.

The $1,000 and $1,500 grants are tied to income and/or participation in government assistance programs. You can check your eligibility on the City’s website.

Grant winners at any of the levels are chosen by a lottery drawing held each quarter. For the current quarter, the grant application process runs from April 1 to 30.

The drawing for this quarter will take place on Wednesday, May 6.

More information about this program can be found here and here and this is the link for entering the drawing.
