A healthy and robust urban forest is more important than ever. Every year the effects of climate change are becoming more evident. Extreme weather events like record-breaking heatwaves and flash floods are placing extra stress on our urban forest. It will be further strained without sustained maintenance.
With the support of our volunteers, we plant and maintain our city’s street trees ensuring that our urban forest provides our city with maximum environmental benefits.
The images below illustrate the impact our volunteers and programming have on our urban forest. Please support Trees, New York – volunteer and donate today.
Before: In addition to being unsightly, compacted soil and litter block the movement of oxygen, water and nutrients to tree roots.
