Getting to a Million Trees: Tree Planting Opportunities

In addition to the City’s and New York Restoration Project’s tree planting activities, the participation of homeowners, developers, and businesses is essential to the City’s tree planting strategy. In fact, 400,000 (40%) of the new trees must be planted by the private and non-profit sector - that’s an average of 20,000 trees each planting season for the next ten years. 

So where will New Yorkers plant one million new trees?

Please note that trees must be planted in the ground and use of free-standing planters is not encouraged.
