"MillionTreesNYC is a initiative to plant and care for one million new trees across
the City's five boroughs over the next decade. By planting one
million trees, New York City can increase its urban forest—our most
valuable environmental asset made up of street trees, park trees, and
trees on public, private and commercial land—by an astounding 20%, while
achieving the many quality-of-life benefits that come with planting
trees. The City of New York will plant 70% of trees in parks and
other public spaces.
The other 30% will come from private organizations,
homeowners, and community organizations."
At Saint Ann's high school in Brooklyn Heights we care for all
of the trees surrounding our block using soil from our schools compost.
We feel this is a great way to kick start green initiatives not only at
Saint Ann's but also all over the city and country!
Greenly yours,
