Join Newtown Creek Alliance and Trees New York to learn about and care for the street trees in the East Williamsburg part of the North Brooklyn Industrial Business Zone.
This event will feature a walking tour led by Samuel A. Bishop II from Trees New York, who will discuss the lack of trees in the IBZ, ideal placements for street trees, and challenges street trees face in an industrial area.
After the walking tour, we will be tending street trees on Morgan Ave by doing tree bed maintenance, including trash removal, soil amendment, and mulching. Additionally, Trees New York will be conducting a small pruning demonstration to show the benefits of proper care for street trees by licensed Citizen Pruners.
