Nuestros Bosques Forest Care Days

The Nuestros Bosques Event Series offers hands-on outdoor learning, forest stewardship, and community engagement. Participants explore local woodlands, care for trees and understory plants, and connect with the natural environment in Providence.

Spring has arrived and street trees throughout Providence are waking up! Join us in helping them make the transition into the new growing season as smooth as possible. We'll learn how to perform tree well maintenance, removing litter, decompacting soil, and weeding. We'll document any damage on trees from the winter so that we can keep tabs on how our urban forest is growing. Finally, volunteers who are certified Providence Community Tree Keepers will help to prune trees to remove damaged wood and them focus their new growth this year.We will meet up as a group for a brief orientation and training, before splitting up into a few different groups to work in multiple sites throughout the Olneyville and Manton neighborhoods. No experience is necessarry for this event! Please register and we will follow up shortly with more details.--This event is part of the Nuestros Bosques Event Series, a program focused on forest stewardship, outdoor learning, and community engagement in Providence.
