ORGANIZATION: NYC Parks Stewardship Program

  • A group opportunity. Invite your friends.

Help care for young street trees during MulchFest 2017! The Stewardship Team is looking for volunteers to help by spreading mulch that is generated during MulchFest around young trees to insulate them from the cold winter weather, retain moisture, and provide a decorative addition to neighborhoods around the city. You can also pick up bags of mulch to take home with you and use on the trees on your street!
