 Over 6,000 Providence residents have taken advantage of the Neighborhood Planting Program, a private organization which plants trees along Providence streets. Groups of residents must apply to recieve the trees, which are free, but the residents must agree to participate in the planting and take on the responsibility of the young trees’ care. Each street can get five to 20 trees. The City of Providence is a partner in the PNPP and matches the cost of the street trees and the preparation of the planting sites.
On Saturdays this month, spring trees will be planted across the city, from the East Side to the West. On Arbor Day, Friday April 25, a a special planting ceremony will be held at 9 a.m. near 345 Sharon Street. If you'd like street trees in your neighorhood, get your neighbors together and apply. The deadline for Fall 2008 plantings is June 2. Applications are available by visiting www.pnpp.org, by calling 351-6440 x13 or 401-368-5380, emailing
