FREE Street Tree for Property Owners in NYC

NYC Property Owners can liven up their streets and add beauty to the area by requesting that a free street tree be planted. A Parks Forester will survey the location to ensure it is a suitable site for the tree to thrive. You can make a request for existing empty tree beds as well as paved sidewalk locations.
