Mission Statement
Our mission is to plant, steward, and advocate for trees in Providence. We do this by providing free street trees to Providence residents through our Neighborhood Street Tree Planting Awards, by training and empowering people to become Providence Community Tree Keepers, and by fostering individual and collective engagement with our Urban Forest.
About This Cause
The Providence Neighborhood Planting Program (PNPP) is a street tree planting partnership between the Mary Elizabeth Sharpe Providence Neighborhood Planting Program Fund, the City of Providence, and the residents of Providence. Since 1989, PNPP has co-funded the planting of over 13,000 street trees through the efforts of over 620 neighborhood groups. This effort has helped us to gradually begin to replenish our tree canopy–we currently plant an average of 500 trees a year, prioritizing our lowest-canopy neighborhoods. A 2006 citywide tree inventory found 25,000 street trees in Providence, consisting of 95 different species. Another citywide Street Tree Tally has recently been completed, and the data from that is being analyzed. This latest inventory will allow us to measure the progress we have made since then!
