NMPL Partners with Neighborhood Forest for Earth Week

If there's one thing we know about our NMPL kid patrons, it's that they LOVE scaling the trees around the property. So we're SO excited to partner with Neighborhood Forest to provide free trees for kids to plant during Earth Week! ​

This program introduces children to the delight of planting a tree and then watching it grow as they care for it. Neighborhood Forest gave away over 67,000 trees last year alone, beautifying many neighborhoods and giving children a personal stake in taking care of their environment. We're still waiting for the exact species to be announced, but we do know trees will be native, nut bearing or fruit bearing!

Trees for those who have registered by the March 15 deadline will arrive in time for Earth Day. To ensure your child receives one, register HERE.

Trees can then be picked up at the library between 1pm and 7pm on Tuesday, April 22nd. Tree planting guides will be provided to all participants.

We're excited to make our world a little more beautiful with you!
