A third of them were planted by someone we know.
We started counting in 1978, the day David Ford put a Red Maple in front of his house on Rugby. The pit had been empty since the storm of ‘72. We’ve added a few a year ever since — sometimes with help from MillionTreesNYC, GreenThumb, or the Parks Department, but mostly just a neighbor with a shovel and an afternoon.
Every tree, every block.

By the block.

Got a spot in front of your home?
Tell us where to plant it.
Empty pit out front? A stretch of curb that could fit a young one? Send us the address. We’ll handle the paperwork with MillionTreesNYC or Parks, line up the dig, and talk through species with you. Parks will plant whatever’s on the truck; we’d rather not surprise you with a stinky ginkgo unless that’s your dream. Your job: keep it watered through the first two summers, and split the cost if there is one.
