Let's plant 1,000 trees
in Trenton.

Trees for Trenton is a community effort to address environmental justice and make Trenton a more beautiful and livable city.

What's happening?

The City of Trenton and partner organizations have funding from the NJ Department of Environmental Protection to plant trees in Trenton’s parks and streets.​

​

We will be planting 1,000 trees throughout Trenton over the next three years.

Planting Locations

Completed or scheduled planting locations include North Broad Street, Academy Street, Cadwalader Park, and West State Street. 

Planting locations were determined based on a variety of factors, primarily a lack of existing tree canopy cover and suitability for trees based on available sidewalk space and absence of overhead wires.

Why plant trees?

They reduce energy costs by providing shader in summer and insulation in winter.

They reduce flooding by absorbing stormwater.
