NYC Plants More Trees Across the City
A Greener New York City: Thousands of New Trees Planted!
New York City planted more than 55,000 trees during the 2026 fiscal year. This was a 61% increase compared to the previous year.
The trees were planted across different neighborhoods in all five boroughs. The city focused on adding more trees to areas that need extra shade, especially neighborhoods that experience extreme heat.
Planting more trees can help clean the air, provide shade, and make neighborhoods cooler and greener. These changes can make New York City a healthier and more enjoyable place to live.
