Join NYC Parks Stewardship as we celebrate the legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.! Come work with NYC Parks Stewardship to care for local street trees! Volunteers will learn how to aerate, cultivate, mulch, and identify street trees. They will also learn about the important roles street trees play in New York City. Volunteers should dress in clothes that can get dirty and closed toe shoes. Face masks may be worn at your discretion. Space is limited and registration is required. Volunteers under 18 must be accompanied by a chaperone. Funding for this event is provided by the Inflation Reduction Act and the USDA Forest Service, Urban and Community Forestry Program. To sign up a group of 10 or more volunteers please reach out to stewardship@parks.nyc.gov.
