Camden and Newark are now a shade greener, thanks to our fall planting events in both cities! With our local partners and hundreds of outstanding volunteers, we muscled big 10-15′ trees into the ground every week from late September to mid November. Check out what we accomplished this fall:
Camden Urban Airshed Reforestation Program
230 new trees
357 volunteers
9 planting events
5,400 trees total since 2002
Newark Renaissance Trees Program
65 new trees
118 volunteers
4 planting events
2,034 trees total since 2006
With tree canopy coverage estimated at 5.2% (Camden) and 7.8% (Newark), we know there’s still plenty of tree planting work left to do. Please consider using the Jersey Give Back Guide to donate to the NJ Tree Foundation to help plant trees in NJ’s most urban communities, where the need is the greatest.
