District 33 Street Tree Stewardship Map
This map will help us grow volunteer engagement at a neighborhood level and track our progress towards increasing tree stewardship across District 33. Work with us to ensure that ALL of our street trees new, and old, are well cared for!
A robust tree canopy to tackle the climate crisis
Trees sequester carbon, reduce urban heat, improve air quality, reduce stormwater runoff, provide crucial habitat, reduce mental and physical stress, and provide energy savings by lowering temperatures. Planting and caring for trees is a vitally important investment that appreciates in value over time; the older and healthier the tree, the greater the benefits.
Council Member Lincoln Restler's office is committed to ensuring every viable street tree location across our community is filled. Help us reach our goal of planting 3,400 trees over the next four years by contributing to the District 33 Street Tree Fund.
Take care of a tree near you!
Tree Care Basics
- Remove litter and weeds from the tree bed.
- Cultivate the soil by adding compost and mulch
Loosen soil gently (max 1 inch deep) to alleviate compaction. Mix in a thin layer of compost (max ½ inch deep). Add a layer of mulch (max 2 inches deep). Keep compost and mulch at least 6 inches away from the trunk and major roots. - Water once a week
Between May & October - Plant carefully around street trees
Choose small & shallow rooted annuals, perennials, and bulbs that require minimal watering. Please don't raise the soil level around tree roots.
