#Plantingtrees in the West Village is the perfect way to spend a fall day! Last week, we #planted four #streettrees! We were joined by #CitizenPruners, and they learned how a #streettree gets planted.

Enjoy the #urbanforest this weekend! #GreenAsh is one of the few #trees with compound leaves that you can find in NYC. They have been the recent target of the Emerald Ash Borer, a beetle that creates markings underneath the bark in the larval stage and leaves exit holes as it emerges as an adult.

Our #TreesforNYHCHA project has been a huge success! As we continue putting forth #treestewardship initiatives to maintain this historic investment, we are still prioritizing #wateringtrees to ensure they survive and thrive through ongoing dry weather conditions.

Congratulations to the volunteers who recently joined our cohort of #CitizenPruners, seen here #pruningtrees during their field outing in Brooklyn as part of their training. We are so grateful to them and the 300+ volunteers that signed up this year for the #CitizenPruner course!

Go outside and enjoy the #urbanforest this weekend! The #Sweetgumtree features star-shaped leaves and spiky, gumball-sized fruits. The #tree earned its name from its fragrantly sweet sap that was historically used as chewing gum. Crush a leaf to enjoy its aromatic scent!

Our environmental educators took a quick break from teaching this week to #prune this #streettree that had a limb obstructing a traffic light. #Pruningtrees not only strengthens them but also serves as a way to help make NYC's streets and sidewalks safer for all New Yorkers!

A BIG thank you to our volunteers and Local Nature Lab for joining us on #NYCclimateweek to help us care for 15 young #streettrees in the West Village.  They are ready for #CityofForestDay2025 and will continue to care for more #trees this Saturday!

Thank you to our #CitizenPruners that joined us for a #Prune & Chat in the West Village! We #pruned #streettrees and discussed proper #pruningtechniques. Our #TreesWestVillage project is about caring for #trees and uniting through a common goal of expanding our #urban forest!

As a culmination of our #CitizenPrunercourse this summer with #bronxIsblooming's summer #PLACEstudents, Trees New York Educators held a #pruningouting to give these new #citizenpruners a chance to practice their skills and provide some love and care to #trees in the Bronx!

We repaired this #treebed as part of our #TreesWestVillage project. We removed the blocks, amended the soil, mulched, and our interns watered the #tree. We were delighted to return and see that someone installed a #treeguard - THANK YOU!

A BIG SHOUT OUT to our 2025 #YoungUrbanForester interns who worked hard all summer long taking care of our city’s #trees so they survive and thrive and serve as some of the best tools we have to fight #climatechange! This year’s program was made possible as part of our #TreesforNYCHA project.

#BurrOak, #QuercusMacrocarpa, is being #planted by #NYCParks as a #streettree. The leaves are variable in shape making them a little tricky to identify. The bark has raised ridges from a very young age which can be seen on new street #trees. #NYCurbanforest

Trees New York partnered with 40 schools located throughout the five boroughs, engaged 4,059 students, offered 191 lessons, planted 30 #trees, #stewarded 251 trees and #pruned 44. A BIG thank you to our sponsor #conedison for supporting our #YouthEnvironmentalLiteracyProgram!

Congratulations to #bronxisblooming - they are now #CitizenPruners! They have spent the summer connecting with their #urbanforest #stewardingtrees, and learning proper maintenance techniques. We are so proud to work with such wonderful students and a great organization!

Our #YoungUrbanForester interns learned about #urbanagriculture as they explored the #brooklyngrange #rooftopfarm and got a glimpse of #environmentalcareer pathways!

Trees Count 2025 is here! Trees New York and our #YoungUrbanForester interns joined @NYCparks and inventoried trees at Herbert Von King Park. They inventoried 9 zones and put their identification skills and tree health knowledge in action to support #TreesCount2025!

Their goal was to steward 400 #trees in 7 weeks and they did it in 5! Go #YoungUrbanForesters! Drop a heart or a comment to celebrate their achievements❤️👍

#Bottlebrushbuckeye, #Aesculusparviflora, is blooming (and wilting) - it has been hot out in City Hall Park. Get out and enjoy the shade under the #treecanopy this weekend and see if you can spot one before they wilt further with more hot weather on the way next week!

Trees New York partnered with @@uprose.bsky.social and hosted a #CitizenPruner course in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. We had a great time together #pruningtrees and are so glad they are committed to stewarding our #urbanforest. GREAT JOB!
