*Greening Jersey City Today for Tomorrow.* City of Trees is a Parks Coalition initiative to plant 5,000 trees by 2020. But Parks Co and the City can't do it without your help! Tell us how where you want to see trees and why you think trees are important. OUR ORGANIZATION STARTED IN 2005 AS PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THREE PARK GROUPS THAT HAS GROWN TO 24 MEMBER PARK GROUPS STRONG IN 2017. A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING CODIFIED OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITY OF JERSEY CITY IN 2013 AND WE CONTINUE TO IMPROVE AND BUILD ON THAT PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP. OUR SUCCESS WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE WITHOUT THE CONSISTENT EFFORT AND DEDICATION OF OUR MANY VOLUNTEERS; THE THOUSANDS OF RESIDENTS WHO CONTINUE TO BEAUTIFY JERSEY CITY AS A RESULT OF THEIR INVOLVEMENT IN THE BIG DIG AND OTHER PLANTING EFFORTS; THE PARKS AND NEIGHBORHOOD GROUPS THAT ARE STEWARDS FOR THEIR LOCAL PARKS, AND OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS THAT KEEPS THE ORGANIZATION FOCUSED AND ON TRACK. BEHIND THE SCENES BUT NO LESS IMPORTANT TO ALL WE DO IS THE SUPPORT OF OUR DONORS & SPONSORS.
