AccessibilityNYC Parks Tree Time
Tree Time, a program of the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation and the City Parks Foundation, was established in 1994 to protect, preserve, and enhance New York City's street, park and forest trees. The goals of Tree Time are to foster public-private partnerships in urban forestry, raise public awareness of the importance of urban forestry conservation and stewardship, promote new technologies to enhance tree survival and advance innovative management tools, and revitalize historically and arboreally significant municipal trees.
Donations to Tree Time enable the installation of tree guards, tree planting, and sidewalk repair. Tree Time works with qualified contractors who follow the city specifications and standards so you can be assured to receive the highest quality work.
To find out more information about Tree Time, please feel free to contact the Tree Time at TreeTime@parks.nyc.gov or (718) 361-8101.
