Saturday, April 18 help plant 300 trees and green the Pomonok Houses in Queens , NY. Trees filter pollutants from the air, cool the neighborhood’s streets and homes, reduce stormwater runoff, encourage healthy, active living, and slow global warming—so many benefits from simply doing One Thing That’s Green!

Together with MillionTreesNYC, New York Restoration Project, 106.7 Lite FM, 103.5 KTU, Power 105 and New York City Department of Parks and Recreation and JetBlue, help green this community.

Breakfast and lunch will be served and all volunteers will receive a t-shirt. There will be children’s activities and prizes will be given out throughout the day. Ed Lover from Power 105′s will make a special appearance from 1 p.m.–3 p.m.

All volunteers must register and complete a waiver. Young adults ages 14–17 must have a signed waiver from a parent or guardian to participate.

It is recommended that all participating volunteers be at least 14 years old and must be accompanied by an adult. There will be activities for kids under 14 years of age.
