MillionTreesNYC has planted hundreds of thousands of trees since its launch. We need your help to keep these trees healthy and green! Trees face many natural and man-made threats and require ongoing maintenance, including regular watering and tending to the soil to survive and thrive.

The MillionTreesNYC Stewardship Corps was launched In May 2009 as a collaboration with Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Greenbelt Conservancy, GreenThumb, Partnerships for Parks, Queens Botanical Garden, New York Botanical Garden and Trees New York to build a community-based network of tree stewards across the city’s five boroughs. The Stewardship Corps engages everyday New Yorkers in urban tree stewardship through:
- accessible, no-cost tree care workshops and toolkits;
- coordination and expansion of existing environmental and tree stewardship programs across New York City;
- “Train-the-Trainer” workshops to provide trainings to organizations and empower Corps members to educate new tree stewards through their local networks; and
- online space for tree stewards to network and share tree care resources.
