OBJECTIVE

Get to know your tree neighbors, with your human (and more than human) neighbors. We’ll be kicking off our monthly tree walks this Arbor Day Weekend with a stroll up Nostrand Avenue to identify the trees that provide shade, ecologies, and homes for species of all kinds. We’ll be learning how to identify and care for trees, sharing stories of their cultural histories, and discussing our shared future with them in a time of unprecedented global ecosystems change. Get a preview of our trees by checking out the NYC Tree Map.
