The Urban Airshed Reforestation Program is designed to mitigate air and water pollution in the ozone non-attainment area of South Jersey, currently entirely focused on the City of Camden, through the planting of thousands of trees and the recruitment of numerous organizations as partners to support these greening efforts. This project links tree planting in an urban environment to better air and water quality by providing a safer, healthier environment for residents most affected by industrial pollutants. As of November 2009, the NJTF has partnered with 130 community groups to plant 3,835 trees in Camden with approx. 7,300 volunteers! Additionally, we have trained over 305 Camden residents in urban and community forestry issues through the Camden TreeKeepers Workshops.
Wear sturdy shoes and clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty! The New Jersey Tree Foundation will provide tools and gloves for the tree planting days. All tree planting projects will be supervised by the New Jersey Tree Foundation staff. Events are rain or shine.
