Put Down Roots

MillionTreesNYC is asking local residents, community groups and neighborhood organizations of New York City to Put Down Roots!

Host a Tree Giveaway

If you are a not-for-profit organization*, you can apply to host your own MillionTreesNYC Tree Giveaway. Free trees will be provided to giveaway hosts.

MillionTreesNYC will coordinate the delivery of trees to the organization's site and cover all purchase and delivery expenses. Each tree comes with information on how to properly plant and care for trees. MillionTreesNYC will provide materials for promotion of the event or program.

Learn more about hosting a tree giveaway and download the application.

*You must be a registered 501(c)(3) to be eligible to host a MillionTreesNYC Tree Giveaway. Commercial and for-profit programs should contact MillionTreesNYC to learn about other opportunities.

Pick up a Free Tree

New York City residents can attend a MillionTreesNYC Tree Giveaway and pick up their own free tree. Trees can be planted on private properties such as front and backyards, commercial properties, community gardens and faith-based centers. Trees also must be planted in the ground, rather than in a planter or container. All MillionTreesNYC trees must also be planted within the five boroughs of New York City.

This tree giveaway program is an excellent way to begin or continue greening your neighborhood!

Our Tree Giveaways have concluded for the spring 2011 season. Please check back with us in early fall for an updated schedule of events.
