Hello Newark Community,

This spring, the Newark Green Team is bringing neighbors together to help grow Newark’s tree canopy, and we’d love for you to be part of it! 

We’re hosting six community tree-planting days across Newark, and volunteers of all experience levels are welcome. Whether you’re a longtime tree lover or just looking for a meaningful way to give back, this is a great opportunity to make a visible difference in our neighborhoods.

Most importantly, it brings neighbors together around a shared investment in Newark’s future.
