TREES COUNT -- CAN WE COUNT ON YOU?

Volunteer at NYC Parks' Trees Count! 2015

 

 

DATE:                          Volunteer opportunities May through November 2015

 

LOCATION:                 Locations Citywide

 

DETAILS:                    Volunteers will help map and record critical information about

individual trees on each and every city block. In all boroughs,

we’ll be hosting mapping events where volunteers can band

together to do this important work. The data will help to create

a citywide street map to guide planning decisions and inform

future planting and stewardship efforts to ensure equitable

distribution of trees for all neighborhoods.

 

                                    No prior expertise necessary -- volunteers will receive training and data collection tools. Call 311 or visit NYC Parks' website to sign up for our newsletter and learn more about Trees Count! 2015.

 

                                    Trees help to make our city cooler, our air cleaner and our neighborhoods more beautiful, and you can help them by becoming a volunteer. Your participation in Trees Count! 2015 will help to ensure a healthy and thriving urban forest for our future. Can we count on you?
