š³ Street Tree Care Event
When I served on the City Council, I met my goal of planting 1,000 new street trees across District 3 and introduced New York Cityās first Urban Forest Master Plan.
I also launched the Green the In-Between Fund to bring even more trees to neighborhoods that need them most.
Street trees clean our air, cool our streets, reduce flooding, support native wildlife, and improve public health.
Join me, Assemblymember @LindaBRosenthal, and the Lower East Side Ecology Center to care for our neighborhood trees!

When people think about biodiversity, Manhattan probably isnāt the first place that comes to mind. But cities have a critical role to play in addressing the global biodiversity crisis. š³š
Protecting biodiversity isnāt just about preserving distant rainforests and wilderness areas. Itās also about transforming the places where billions of people already live.
