Mahoning Valley TreeCorps
PLANTING TREES IS COOL!
Join us in making the cities of Youngstown & Warren cooler communities.
The benefits of planting trees in the city are enormous for the residents and the environment. Healthy shade trees in neighborhoods reduce air pollution from cars and factories, provide needed summer shade, cool your home and reduce energy bills, encourage outdoor physical activity, improve mental health and wellness, improve property values, and have even been shown to help reduce crime.
Be cool. Let us plant a tree for you… for free!
Mahoning Valley TreeCorps is committed to addressing urgent tree maintenance needs in Youngstown and Warren by clearing backlogs and planting new trees, we’re making these areas safer and more enjoyable.
We love our trees! So much so that our Mahoning Valley TreeCorps, during this spring planting season, planted over 606 total trees! 436 Trees were planted in the city of Youngstown and another 170 were planted in Warren.
Mahoning Valley TreeCorps is an initiative led by YNDC, Youngstown CityScape, Trumbull Neighborhood Partnership, the Healthy Community Partnership, along with many community partners. TreeCorps will restore and sustain the urban tree canopy in the cities of Youngstown Ohio, and Warren Ohio, in order to improve health, and make the urban forest accessible to all.
Funding for this project provided by the Inflation Reduction Act, and the USDA Forest Service, Urban and Community Forestry Program. This institution is an equal opportunity provider.
