We had a perfect fall day for #CitizenPruner outings with our friends @NYCGreenThumb! The students in the class #prunedtrees in the East Village in Manhattan and Brownsville in Brooklyn.

A BIG thank you to our partners at Tokyu Land US Corporation whose wonderful group of volunteers came out to join us in the West Village for a #treestewardship event. Together we planted a total of over 300 daffodil and allium bulbs on MacDougal St, West 3rd St, and Sullivan St!

We #pruned 5 #trees along IS 125Q in Sunnyside. Previously the branches posed an issue with the school during fire drills and other outdoor activities. After #pruning, there is more clearance for students and families to stand under the trees while also benefiting from the shade!

As part of our #TreesWestVillage project, we partnered with students from The New School to #water and #mulch 11 #streettrees on East Houston and Mercer Street. So glad to work with these students who are committed to expanding their neighborhood tree canopy!

We are moving towards peak fall color in NYC! Some of the best #trees for fall color are: red maple, sweetgum, blackgum, ginkgo, and callery pear. Use “Filter trees by species” on the tree map to find them in the NYC Tree Map: nycgovparks.org/tree-map

As we celebrate this historic milestone, we recommit ourselves to expanding the city’s #treecanopy through #planting and #stewardship, ensuring that future generations inherit a New York City with a healthy and resilient #urbanforest!

Are green retro-fitted bus stops a practical way to absorb some of the challenges we face with climate change? The Dutch seem to think so – and now New Yorkers are going to have their say. Read about it here and tell us your thoughts in the comments below! tinyurl.com/3x44t4dv
Green roofs, reflective materials on bus shelters aim to beat the heat in NYC pilot

Green roofs, reflective materials on bus shelters aim to beat the heat in NYC pilot

The pilot in one of the city’s most heat-vulnerable neighborhoods is testing how changes to everyday transit infrastructure can help cities adapt to extreme heat.

We kicked off our #CoolingtheCampus project at Kingsboro Community College and planted five #Cherrytrees. Over the course of two years, we will restore their #canopy lost to Hurricane Sandy by planting 65 more #trees!

We are so proud to have supported so many organizations for #CityofForestDay2026 and were happy to give away over 50 #treeguards like these three to a public school in the Bronx to help them preserve and protect their young Hawthorne #trees!

For #CityofForestDay2026, we hosted a #Tree Tour in Crotona Park! Attendees were invited to admire several mature trees and catch a glimpse of the ethnobotanical, historical, and cultural significance of some of NYC's "Great Trees" while discussing the challenges they face.

We worked alongside Brooklyn Outdoor Service Guides, a scout organization located in Brooklyn, to commemorate #CityofForestDay2026 . In all, there were 23 volunteers, including many little ones, who helped us steward several trees surrounding Prospect Park!

Trees New York piloted a self-guided Tree Tour within Forest Park for #CityofForestDay2026! Through scannable QR Codes, visitors were able to learn fun facts about the individual #trees and how to identify them!

Thank you to all who came to our #CityofForestDay2026 event at JHS 118 William W. Niles in the Bronx! Together, we were able to plant 500 tulip bulbs across school grounds, stewarded 16 #streettrees in the surrounding area, and installed three #treeguards to protect their trees!

A BIG thank you to The W. 75th Street Block Association, and CM @galeabrewer and State Senator @ebottcher for introducing the #TalkingTrees of 75th Street at their #CityofForestDay event! Listening to the #Trees is such a fun and interactive way to learn about NYC's #urbanforest.
