Join Lex & 3rd Block Association (L3BA) for a day of urban stewardship in East Harlem. We are seeking volunteers to help beautify our local street tree beds.
By cleaning, mulching, and planting seeds (flowers), we aim to transform these spaces from neglected areas into thriving focal points. This initiative is as much for the trees themselves as it is for the community. Trees are sentient beings that deserve our respect and care. Life in a concrete environment is difficult; yet, they persevere, providing us with essential oxygen, shade, and beauty.
