This video captures the 2018 New Jersey Arbor Day celebration and celebrates tree diversity. The NJ Tree Foundation’s co-founder and former Board President Roni Olizi was honored with the Joyce Kilmer Award during the ceremony.
Continuing our #NJTrees20 series, please enjoy this video of Madeline Ruiz, Dave Robinson, and their son Parker. 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!
As we continue to celebrate our 20 years of planting trees, we’d like to highlight some notable plantings from the past two decades. Watch as Christoff Lindsey, long-time supporter of the NJ Tree Foundation, recalls his first planting experience on his Camden block in 2007, and his experiences since then.
As we celebrate our 20 year anniversary, we’ll be sharing videos about our history and successful programs. The NJ Tree Foundation’s first program was called Celebrate Arbor Day. Learn more about it in this video created by Better World Photography. Make sure to share your tree stories with us! #NJTrees20
