SUMMARY:Spring into Street Tree Care Volunteer Event
DESCRIPTION:Join the Lower East Side Ecology Center in welcoming spring by taking care of street trees in the East Village! Volunteers will help remove weeds and litter\, apply compost made from NYC food scraps\, and plant bulbs in local tree beds. Kneeling\, squatting\, or lifting might be among the physical activities. \nSign up Here! \nStreet tree care events serve to both create awareness about NYC’s urban ecology and educate residents on the multitude of benefits healthy trees provide our neighborhoods. The idea is for the food scraps to be repurposed and redistributed back to the community as compost through greening projects. Street tree care events are one of many ways we accomplish this mission and your participation helps to further this cause.
