Join in the World’s largest environmental movement right here in Newport.
Here are just three ways to help make a difference today:
1. Earth Day Tree Planting and Mulching
10 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.
Celebrate Earth Day by helping NTC plant a young tree in Morton Park.
Did you know that each tree that we add to Newport’s urban forest helps take carbon out of the atmosphere to help fight climate change? Trees also help mitigate stormwater runoff, cool the city, and provide habitat for wildlife. Help us make a difference by signing up to lend a hand. No experience necessary. Please dress for the weather and bring work gloves if you have them.
Morton Park, Newport. More info.
