The Renaissance Trees Program is a community-based reforestation effort that began in 2006 in the City of Newark. We serve the City of Newark and surrounding North Jersey cities based on our resources. Created to increase the tree canopy, improve the environment, and enhance the quality of life in New Jersey’s largest city, the Renaissance Trees Program has planted 3,588 trees. More than 21,548 square feet of concrete has been removed, improving stormwater management and promoting a healthier community forest. In our fall 2019 season, we planted 149 trees and removed 420 square feet of concrete. Residents apply for a neighborhood tree planting, agreeing to plant and maintain the trees. To date, the Renaissance Trees Program has engaged more than 7,664 volunteers from all walks of life in beautifying North Jersey’s cities.
