MillionTreesNYC Tree Care Workshop Wednesday, September 15th, 6:30pm to 8pm Workshop Fee: free New street trees are coming! MillionTreesNYC is a citywide program with a goal to plant and care for one million new trees across the five boroughs over the next decade. Since the MillionTreesNYC campaign started in 2007, over 375,000 trees have been planted. Trees offer many benefits such as cleaning our air, cooling the sidewalks and our homes, reducing storm water runoff, increasing property values and making our neighborhoods beautiful and welcoming! Please bring the address of a street tree you would like to adopt to the workshop. Upon adoption of a tree, workshop attendees can receive a free watering kit! Join Queens Botanical Garden staff and learn how you can adopt and care for street trees.  This event is free but registration is required.  To register, email milliontreesnyc@queensbotanical.org or call 718-886-3800 x.236.
