Greening New Jersey, one tree at a time.
March 26, 2018 – Camden, NJ – On Saturday April 7th, the NJ Tree Foundation will celebrate its first Camden tree planting of the spring season and the national celebration of the start of the spring trail season, Opening Day for Trails, by planting 10 trees at Cooper’s Poynt Waterfront Park and 11 trees in the surrounding area.
We are partnering with the City of Clifton to plant fifty trees in three parks through TD Bank’s Green Streets grant program. The Arbor Day Foundation announced that Clifton received a $20,000 grant to plant the trees this spring. Clifton was one of ten cities nationwide to receive the funding.
The trees will be planted during Earth Week, with TD Bank volunteers and local students planting eleven trees on April 24th.

This family of activists and happy tree planters has planted trees on their block in 2011, and sparked more tree plantings in their neighborhood. Tune in to see how they have noted a renaissance on their block with the advent of trees!
