How do trees impact communities?
Betty, an East Camden resident, shared her thoughts with the NJ Tree Foundation after her tree planting. “Our neighborhood looks so beautiful. I come home and feel so proud that me and my neighbors organized the planting of these trees together. Thank you for replacing the trees we lost long ago – the trees we needed so much.”
What’s Next?
The NJ Tree Foundation will be planting trees again in the fall. You can hire us to work in your community, apply for street trees in your neighborhood of Camden or Newark, volunteer, or donate to make our reforestation efforts possible. Your support is so very appreciated!
