A Million Ways to Get Involved: Stewardship Corps



MillionTreesNYC Stewardship Corps MillionTreesNYC has planted more than 300,000 trees since its launch in October 2007, including more than 30,000 street trees. Now, we need your help to keep these newly planted trees healthy and growing — something that can only be achieved with the support of volunteers like you!

Trees face many natural and man-made threats from the urban environment and require ongoing maintenance to survive. Help make a difference. Become a part of the MillionTreesNYC movement today!

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.
