📣 Attention North Brooklyn: we’ve got two big tree-related announcements for ya 🌳🤗 #1 - This morning, NYC Council Member Lincoln Restler (@lincolnforcouncil) shared his plan to plant 3,400 new street trees in Brooklyn District 33 over the next four years 🥳🤩👏 NBK Parks is a proud collaborator on this initiative alongside TreeTime - a partnership of NYC Parks (@nycparks) & City Parks Foundation (@cpfnyc). You can help us plant trees in your neighborhood by donating to the D33 Street Tree Fund via the link in our profile 🔗💚 #2: To celebrate the launch of the D33 Street Tree Plan, NBK Parks planted four very special saplings at Kosciuszko Plaza across from Under the K Bridge Park. These saplings came from the beloved Transmitter Park Willow Tree, which sadly fell during Hurricane Ida in 2021 😔 But thanks to Greenpoint Library & Environmental Education Center’s (@bklyn_geec) expert care of these saplings, as well as the efforts of NBK Parks own crew, the Transmitter Willow Tree’s legacy and offspring will live on in Greenpoint 🍃🥲 Pictured: 1 - From left to right, NBK Parks Crew Members Gerard Beauchamp, John Altyn, and Wandy Perez with the three of the saplings at Kosciuszko Plaza across from the entrance to Under the K Bridge Park. 2 - NBK Parks Executive Director Katie Denny Horowitz sitting on a bench at Kosciuszko Plaza with one of the saplings in front of the bust of Tadeusz Kosciuszko. 3 - “Shaking hands” with one of the saplings. 4 - A 2017 image of the Transmitter Park Willow Tree #NBKparks #LincolnRestler #D33StreetTreeFund #StreetTrees #GreenpointTrees #WilliamsburgTrees #BrooklynTrees #TransmitterPark #WillowTree #WillowSaplings #UnderTheK #KosciuszkoPlaza #TadeuszKosciuszko
