Do you love our city’s street trees? Interested in learning how to plant them? Join our hands-on workshop to plant young trees along a block in Central Queens. Genevieve Moralez, Greening Central Queens stewardship coordinator at NYC Parks and team will demonstrate planting, mulching, and watering. You will then work in small groups to plant trees. During this workshop, you’ll have the opportunity to connect with like-minded people and leave equipped with the ability to care for local street trees. Coffee, water, and snacks will be provided. All attendees will be entered into a raffle for prizes as well. 

This workshop is hosted in collaboration with NYC Parks’ Stewarding Canopy and Community in Central Queens (SCCCQ) project. SCCCQ is giving away 100 trees this fall to individuals residing in the Jackson Heights, Elmhurst, and Corona neighborhoods. Reserve a tree using this link and pick it up October 23-25; then attend this workshop to learn how to properly plant your new tree!
