Join the Lower East Side Ecology Center to steward trees in the Lower East Side!WHAT TO EXPECT...Volunteers will help remove weeds and litter, and apply compost made from NYC food scraps in local tree beds. Kneeling, squatting, or lifting might be among the physical activities.WHAT TO WEAR...Please wear closed-toed shoes and clothes you don't mind getting dirty. Gloves, tools and materials will be provided.WHAT TO BRING...Water bottle and small snack if desired.WHY ARE WE DOING THIS...Street tree care events serve to both create awareness about NYC's urban ecology and educate residents on the multitude of benefits healthy trees provide our neighborhoods. The idea is for the food scraps to be repurposed and redistributed back to the community as compost through greening projects. Street tree care events are one of many ways we accomplish this mission and your participation helps to further this cause.
