“Trees New York’s mission is to plant, preserve and protect New York City’s urban forest through education and community participation.
“Trees New York was founded in 1976 as a volunteer response to New York City’s devastating cutbacks in forestry and tree-related community services. Trees New York has 40 years of experience in community tree planting, stewardship and education projects. Since its founding, Trees New York ([as of 2019]) has trained over 12,500 Citizen Pruners and 8,000 youth in tree care and stewardship. Since 2005, Trees New York has planted over 6,300 trees in underserved communities throughout New York City.”
