If you ever worry that the world we are leaving to our children isn't in as good condition as it should be, there is one easy but positive and lasting thing we all can do -- plant a tree!
So what could be better than to help plant trees?! Volunteers are needed for Tree Teams who will help ensure that young trees are planted properly and cared for with love.

This fall, Groundwork Providence and the RI Tree Council are working toplant 40,000 trees in Providence by 2020 -- that's right FORTY THOUSAND! You can bet that will make a difference in all kinds of ways -- all those thirsty roots will soak up the runoff that today gets into storm drains and carries contaminants to the Bay. All that shade will cool neighborhoods in summer. And every tree will absorb carbon dioxide, to help curb global warming, and give off oxygen, to help sweeten our air.
