Trees New York

Trees New York, a nonprofit organization, was founded in 1976 as a volunteer response to New York City’s devastating cutbacks in tree-related community services.

Trees New York is the leading tree stewardship and advocacy organization in New York City.

Trees New York has over 45 years of experience in community tree planting, stewardship and education projects. Since its founding, Trees New York has trained over 13,500 Citizen Pruners and over 9,000 youth in tree care and stewardship. During the last 10 years, we planted over 5,000 trees in underserved communities throughout New York City, including on New York City Housing Authority campuses, school playgrounds, community gardens, and street trees.
