Northwell Health launched its Trees for Babies initiative on Staten Island, celebrating both new births and environmental sustainability by planting a red maple tree for every baby born annually in its hospitals. The program aims to create a health-conscious legacy while addressing environmental needs, having already removed over 83 tons of air pollutants last year. The initiative encourages community involvement to plant 30,000 trees, reflecting Northwell's commitment to improving air quality and supporting overall wellness in the community.
Every child represents a new beginning and every tree we plant symbolizes growth, resilience and hope for a healthier future. By planting these trees, we're not just recognizing new life, we're improving the air we breathe, cooling our communities and supporting mental and physical wellness.
This is more than a sustainability project, it's a way for us to invest in the future of Staten Island. We need help to plant 30,000 trees, and we're inviting businesses and organizations to join us.
