Recognizing Exceptional Volunteers: Spring 2012

Every season, the NJ Tree Foundation is honored to work with 100’s of selfless, dedicated volunteers and residents who are all passionate about the same thing – trees! Through our Camden Urban Airshed Reforestation Program (UARP) and our Newark Renaissance Trees Program (NRTP), residents and volunteers join forces to plant large, 14-16 ft tall trees back into once treeless communities. These dedicated volunteers make the work look easy; transforming neighborhoods in a few short hours while still smiling!

This past spring there were a few volunteers who went the extra mile – attending several tree planting events, bringing family and friends, and being an overall advocate and leader for trees in the community! The NJ Tree Foundation would like to recognize the following volunteers through our Spring 2012 Volunteer Recognition Awards:
