More than four years have passed since MillionTreesNYC was launched by Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Bette Midler, and we are well on our way to planting one million trees by 2017.

 

With the help of volunteers like you, we have planted nearly 500,000 trees. This fall we are looking to reach our halfway mark and we need your help!

 

Join the New York Restoration Project, American Express and MillionTreesNYC on Saturday, October 1, 2011 at Co-Op City in the Bronx as we plant hundreds of new trees. Lunch, tree planting equipment and a free t-shirt will be provided, courtesy of American Express.

Due to overwhelming response from the community, registration for the October 1st American Express Serve2Gether volunteer day is CLOSED. Please consider joining us on October 22 to plant trees at various sites for Reforestation Day. Register below. Thanks!
