Together we plant, steward and advocate for trees in Providence!

During a day of planting trees along Allens Ave, trainees from Building Futures Green Futures job training cohort enjoyed a lunch break at the Public Street public waterfront access point!
We know it will take a lot more than trees to make the Allens Ave corridor a hospitable place where humans and other life forms can exist and thrive, but getting some more trees planted is a start!
With guidance and input from , the Washington Park Association and the Port Shoreline Resiliency Cohort, we planted 22 new trees so far this Spring--and have more planned for the fall… Stay tuned for community “TreeLC” tree stewardship activities this summer along Allens Ave!

Are you ready for our first ever Spotted Lantern Fly Egg Hunt?! 🥚🌼🌸
You may have noticed Rhode Island's newest neighbor last growing season. Spotted lantern fly (SLF) came into the US on imported goods and have spread from Pennsylvania out into most of the northeast region of the country. But how will SLF affect our urban forest and what should we do now that they are here?
A true bug and relative of cicadas, spotted lanternflies spend the winter as eggs and then hatch into nymphs that can jump and be hard to catch. Manually squishing eggs can be a way to manage SLF populations while having a low impact on the rest of the ecosystem.
Come and join us for an afternoon of learning about SLF, its impact in Providence, and identifying egg sites and how to properly squish them before the big hatch!
🕑 Saturday, 4/18 at 2pm
📍Meet up spot is at the Roger Williams Park Carousel, and from there we will break out for the hunt! Egg squishing spoons provided. 🥄
