Planting Safe Play Areas for Children in Camden
The NJ Tree Foundation is branching out in Camden! Recently, a litter-infested vacant lot in Camden, NJ was cleaned and greened by local residents.
With funding from Impact100 and the William Penn Foundation, we are planting trees to green streets, and shrubs and perennials to create safe havens for Camden residents.
Bloomberg Volunteers Beautify 9/11 Living Memorial
For the past 5 years, volunteers from Bloomberg have given their time, talents and muscle to beautify our 9/11 Living Memorial – the Grove of Remembrance. These dedicated folks have planted hundreds of shrubs and perennials, moved mountains of mulch and, this year, helped to re-gravel the memorial path. We have this event on the anniversary of 9/11, when possible. It is the NJ Tree Foundation’s and Bloomberg’s way of remembering those we lost by giving back to the community.
