Trees do a lot of heavy lifting. They capture carbon, shelter wildlife, cool our neighborhoods and help keep the places we love healthy for generations to come. Across New York, The Nature Conservancy is planting new forests, caring for the ones that already exist and bringing more trees to our cities and communities to help nature and New Yorkers thrive.
Bringing The Benefits of Trees to New York
From scaling tree planting, to supporting landowners, to using science, policy and partnership to expand tree canopy across New York City, we're investing in the power of trees.
Together, scientists, foresters, nursery growers, landowners and community partners are helping ensure that the trees planted today can grow into healthy forests that benefit people and wildlife for generations.
