It's My Park Day, MillionTreesNYC Planting Event



Registration is now closed for the October 24 fall planting event.

Although we are no longer accepting volunteers for this event, we also need the help of advocates, organizers, and community members to help us support planting and caring for these young forests, so stay tuned for stewardship events and tree care workshops that will be organized throughout the year. For more information on 'It's My Park Day' and other ways to get involved during this city-wide event, please visit Partnership for Parks' website. You can also visit our Community Calendar for information about other upcoming MillionTreesNYC events.
