Civil Service Goes Green: MillionTreesNYC Stewardship Corps

This past April, Mayor Bloomberg answered President Obama's nationwide call to volunteerism by establishing NYC Service, an initiative focused on heightening civic engagement opportunities throughout the boroughs. In keeping with this mission, MillionTreesNYC is proud to announce the launch of the Stewardship Corps, a citizen-based program channeling the power of volunteerism to urban tree care. Our partners Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Greenbelt Conservancy, GreenThumb, Partnerships for Parks, Queens Botanic Garden, New York Botanic Garden and TreesNY will engage everyday New Yorkers in greening their streets by providing:

Accessible, no-cost tree care and community organizing training;

Coordination and expansion of existing environmental and tree stewardship programs across New York City;

"Train-the-trainer" workshops to empower MTNYC StewCorps members to educate new tree stewards through their local networks;

Distribution of tree stewardship toolkits to all participating MTNYC StewCorps members;

Adopt-A-Tree, an online space to locate young trees that need stewardship, network, share tree care resources and log service hours.

You can have a leading role in supporting the health and heartiness of street trees by becoming a MillionTrees steward and attending one of our tree care workshops. Several times and locations are available on both our community calendar and online registration. You can also contact us at stewards@milliontreesnyc.org if you would like to arrange a workshop in your neighborhood.
