Hi! If you live, work or play in District 35 (council Member Hudson’s district in Crown Heights and Prospect Heights) - please remember to participate in Participatory Budgeting! Vote with your heart for the top five issues that matter to you.

We are hoping that tree guards will be funded this year! Here’s why - the average life span of a street tree in NYC is 7 years, that means many trees never get to deliver their full benefits to neighborhoods, specifically their cooling powers during ever hotter months. Larger trees also foster biodiversity which is correlated with better neighborhood wellbeing. Tree guards reduce direct dog pee and poop on trees, reduces foot traffic over soil and roots and can reduce trash buildup reducing the potential for root rot or rodent habitats.

Hi pls dm me if you want to collab on getting the tree beds and sidewalk in front of the building cleaner! I’m a neighbor and our crew did your tree beds last weekend but I hope we can team up and encourage the landlord to get tree guards to protect the trees and create a safe place to plant some flowers.
