A Million Trees

NYC gets some things so very right. Like this one: planting 1 million trees in the Big Apple. MillionTreesNYC started in 2007 with a 10-year goal of planting seven figures worth of greenery around the five boroughs. One of the best parts? You can request that a tree be planted on your street. Request one here, or find out more about the program, volunteer, donate, learn to care for trees, or request a tree-planting in a private space on the MillionTreesNYC website. As of today, almost 300,000 trees have been planted - let's help the city on its way to cleaner air, more shade, and glorious fall colors as the leaves change each year.
