Location: QUEENS
Queens, Queens

Meeting Location: Hampton St and Baxter Ave

Description: Celebrate City of Forest Day with NYC Parks Stewardship and Tree Time! Help plant a street tree and care for additional street trees in Elmhurst! Trees 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 and learn how to aerate, cultivate, mulch, and identify street trees. 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 funded in part by the USDA Forest Service through the Inflation Reduction Act. To sign up a group of 10 or more volunteers please reach out to stewardship@parks.nyc.gov.
