Pelham Bay Park Tree and Shrub Planting

Volunteer with the Stewardship Team to plant trees and shrubs in the forest of Pelham Bay Park! Trees and shrubs provide so many benefits to New Yorkers such as improved air and water quality, reduced pollution, and lower energy costs. Volunteers will be trained in proper planting techniques. Come dressed in sturdy boots or shoes, long sleeves, long pants, and clothing that can get dirty. Face masks may be worn at your discretion. Volunteers under 18 must be accompanied by a chaperone. This event has been made possible with funds from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service. To sign up a group of 10 or more volunteers please reach out to stewardship@parks.nyc.gov.
