Chip in! Mulch your tree!
Help NYC grow!
Thank you for making MulchFest 2009 a great success. Please visit this webpage next holidays season for details on MulchFest 2010.
Bring your holiday tree to a designated city park to be recycled into mulch that will nourish plantings across the city! Remember to remove all lights and ornaments before bringing the tree to a Mulchfest site. You are encouraged to bring bags to take advantage of the free mulch provided at sites marked with an asterisk (*) below.
