If you know of a stream that could benefit from having more trees growing along it, The Hudson Estuary Trees for Tribs (water tributaries) Program is offering free native trees and shrubs for planting along the tributary streams.
Staff can also aid with plant selection, creating a planting plan, site preparation, advice on project other information to improve the odds of success for your project. Anyone in the Hudson Valley that owns, manages, or can partner with a landowner that has property along a stream can receive free plants. You can recruit volunteers in your community and work with local environmental groups. Submit your application by March 1st for a spring planting by downloading the two-page application located at: www.dec.ny.gov/docs/remediation_hudson_pdf/hrewtftap14.pdf. For more information, please visit the DEC website: www.dec.ny.gov/lands/43668.html.
