Street Tree Canopy Care Volunteer Day

Help us take care of the trees by aerating soil, weeding, removing litter, and applying NYC-made compost and mulch. We will learn about the Urban Forest of NYC, including different types of trees found in the neighborhood, how to care for the soil, and what types of plants you may see growing in tree beds. All materials provided.

WHERE TO MEET:

Meet us in the Clyde Romero Memorial Garden at 213 East 7th Street.

WHAT TO BRING:

Please wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes and long-sleeves, and pants are recommended. Please wear clothes you are comfortable getting dirty in. Anyone wearing flip-flops will not be able to participate. Hats are highly suggested on sunny days. Don’t forget to bring your reusable water bottle!
