STREET TREE CARE EVENT IN WINDSOR TERRACE (FREE)

Street Tree Care

Saturday, June 13th

10:00 a.m. to noon

 

From Prospect Farm:

Please join Big Reuse, the District 39 Tree Care Team, Council Member Shahana Hanif’s Office, Field Form, and Prospect Farm for a couple hours of street tree care.

 

Big Reuse will provide a brief tutorial on street tree care essentials, and the benefits of compost application. Also, our friends from Field Form will share information about the use of biochar in soil amendment for tree health.

 

Then, we will fan out in teams to freshen up the tree beds by picking up garbage, weeding, cultivating soil, and applying compost on Prospect Avenue and neighboring side streets.

 

All supplies are provided. 

All ages are welcome. Volunteers 16 years or younger must provide a completed STC Minor Waiver + Photo Release PDF signed by parent/guardian in order to participate. Email austin@bigreuse.org with any questions. Bring the hard copy to hand in prior to the event or email the form.

STREET TREE CARE: TAKING CARE OF KENSINGTON'S STREET TREES (FREE)

 

Street Tree Care

Saturday, March 21st

1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.

 

Trees are vital to human existence. They give off the oxygen that we inhale. They store the carbon dioxide that we exhale, which helps slow the buildup of that gas in our atmosphere. They remove particulate matter from the air--that kind of air pollution is the most dangerous for our lungs.

 

Also, they provide shade. And they're beautiful. So, let's help the trees help us and the world that we live in.

 

To help clean, weed, and care for street trees in our neighborhood, meet up with Friends of Albemarle Playground from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 21st.

 

Sponsoring this event are The New York City Department of Youth and Community Development, Big Reuse, Flutura Effect, The Singing Winds, the New York City Council District 39 Tree Care Team, and Shahana Hanif, the New York City Councilmember for District 39.
