Trees for Trenton Community Planting Day
Oct 26, 9 a.m. - 1 p.m.
Foundation Academy, 363 W State St
Join us to plant trees along West State Street! To volunteer, contact Crystal (cwessel@njtreefoundation.org).
Planting Locations
Our first Community Tree Planting Day will take place along West State Street, between Calhoun Street and Perdicaris Place, on October 26, 2024, from 9 a.m. - 1 p.m.​​
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.
Other plantings scheduled for Fall 2024 include a planting in Cadwalader Park, and Isles' plantings along Academy Street and North Broad Street led by Isles.
