New York Restoration Project Tree Giveaway

As part of Friends of Brower Park’s sustainability mission we hope to keep our community up to date on green events happening in Brower Park and within the five boroughs. Trees reduce energy costs, filter pollutants including carbon from the air, provide habitat for local and migrating wildlife and help manage drainage during heavy rain storms reducing stress on NYC’s sewage systems. Reserve your free tree at the New York Restoration Project website.

To qualify you must plant the tree in one of New York City’s five boroughs; promise to keep the tree properly watered and maintained; and plant your tree on your property. It can’t be planted along streets, in city parks, in containers, on terraces, balconies, or on roofs.

By planting this tree and caring for it to maintain its health by watering it during dry months, and placing mulch around its base [6″ from the base of the tree] you will be helping yourself and your community manage rainwater, reduce energy needs and breathe cleaner air.
