Million Trees Tree Steward Workshop at P.S. 166 in LIC, Queens


On Wednesday June 20, 2012 I went to a Million Trees NYC workshop at P.S 166. This event was great and outlined some tips on how to take care of the soil surrounding the tree. 

First, we were given a few tools provided by MTNYC in the form of gloves, a hand rake, and a hand shovel. We removed the trash and dug up the weeds. If we dug up roots, we immediately covered the roots with dirt to prevent sunburn. After we completed the session. We were allowed to take the tools home to help care for maintaining adopted trees. In addition, we were given a mesh water bucket for watering plants and trees.
