Leafing a Legacy, One tree at a time.

What're we up to? STAY TUNED!

The Urban Forest Project, The City of White Plains Public works, and Westchester CCE is teaming up to tackle our mission, planting 600 trees in the next 3 years! Pending in December, we will begin planting trees in select areas in White Plains, NY.

From this major project, we are doing a community Adopt a Tree Program (Tree Watchers). Do you want to be involved in your community? We can tell you how! When our beautiful native trees have been planted, you can adopt a small bundle of 10 trees! For this, some of the fun things you will do are:

     -Attend a Tree Watchers presentation with CCE

     -Name your trees

     -Visit your trees and watch them grow

     -Create a social media account for your trees so others can appreciate them as well

More information will be provided once you have signed up! (flyer below)

Follow us @wpurbanforestry on X, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, to stay updated on the program and any other events!
