GreenApple Corps
GreenApple Corps, a public service initiative of the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation, began in October 2004. The goal of the GreenApple Corps program is to immerse Corps members in a variety of work and learning experiences to provide them with technical skills, practical knowledge, and personal development opportunities.
GreenApple Corps members work actively in three program areas: Environmental Education, Ecological Restoration, and Urban Forestry. The GreenApple Corps weaves these three strands together into a cohesive public benefit program to preserve and restore natural ecosystems, increase the street tree population citywide, and turn school kids into environmentally aware citizens and stewards. Members commit to nine months of public service. The GreenApple Corps works throughout New York City.
