About this Event

WHAT TO EXPECT...

WHAT TO WEAR...
Please wear closed-toed shoes and clothes you don't mind getting dirty. Gloves, tools and materials will be provided.
WHAT TO BRING...
Water bottle and small snack if desired.
WHY ARE WE DOING THIS...
Street tree care events serve to both create awareness about NYC's urban ecology and educate residents on the multitude of benefits healthy trees provide our neighborhoods. The idea is for the food scraps to be repurposed and redistributed back to the community as compost through greening projects. Street tree care events are one of many ways we accomplish this mission and your participation helps to further this cause.
