Get a Free Tree, Brooklyn!
Briefly

New York Restoration Project is thrilled to reach our 75,000th free tree milestone this season...spread the undeniable benefits of our urban tree canopy to the neighborhoods...Our city must get more trees in the ground if we want to truly increase New York's environmental resilience.
As the climate crisis intensifies, trees play an essential role in New York City's environmental resilience by providing shade, creating wildlife habitat, reducing temperatures, improving air quality, and mitigating storm water run-off.
Native tree species to be distributed include American Persimmon, American Plum, Black Cherry, Eastern Redbud...Among others.
Confirmed Brooklyn dates, partners, and locations include: April 20 at Wyckoff House Museum, April 28 at The Green-Wood Cemetery, May 4 at Red Hook Farms and Brooklyn Public Library, and May 5 and May 11 at various locations.
