The City Parks Foundation and partners will host a NYC Urban Forest Community Kickoff on May 22 to engage Brooklyn residents in expanding the city's tree canopy. This initiative aims to increase tree coverage from 23% to 30%, enhancing public health and neighborhood equity while providing climate benefits. The event allows community members to learn about the Urban Forest Plan, meet its developers, and participate in shaping the initiative, emphasizing volunteer opportunities to care for urban trees, with the Pitkin Avenue Business Improvement District playing a crucial role.
This event is about introducing, educating, and including the Brooklyn community. It's a chance for residents to share ideas and get engaged as volunteers to care for trees in their own neighborhoods.
The Urban Forest Plan aims to expand New York City's total tree canopy from 23% to 30% coverage across both public and private properties.
