PLANT A TREE
We engage communities in planting and stewarding trees, in order to create a more robust and equitable urban forest in Providence.
The Providence Neighborhood Planting Program (PNPP) works in close partnership with the City of Providence to provide free street trees to Providence residents and community groups through our Neighborhood Street Tree Planting Awards. We also train people in young tree pruning and maintenance through our Providence Community Tree Keeper program, build awareness of the value and importance the urban forest and tree equity, and support community-based models of tree stewardship to help ensure that everyone can enjoy the benefits of healthy trees where they live, work, learn and play.
