You can work with Providence Neighborhood Planting Proposal (PNPP) to organize your own Neighborhood Street Tree Planting! This program is the main way we get new street trees planted in Providence. Here’s how it works:
Each Spring & Fall, residents, business owners, or community members can apply as a group to receive free street trees in their neighborhood in exchange for helping to plant and take care of the young trees alongside their neighbors.
PNPP IS COMMITTED TO CREATING AN EQUITABLE URBAN FOREST IN PROVIDENCE. WE ENCOURAGE AND PRIORITIZE APPLICATIONS FROM NEIGHBORHOODS WITH THE LOWEST TREE CANOPY COVER: Elmwood, Federal Hill, Lower South Providence, Manton, Olneyville, Reservoir, Silver Lake, Smith Hill, Upper South Providence, Valley, Washington Park, West End.
(Read more about Tree Equity and where we do and don’t have trees in our city HERE!)
You are not alone: PNPP provides training & guidance for all Tree Leaders and planting participants!
(You can also fill out THIS FORM and we’ll let you know if there happens to be a planting happening nearby that you can get added on to.)
