#BLTrees: A Year in the Life (April) - a podcast by WNYC

from 2022-04-14T12:00

:: ::

We check in on our year-long project #BLTrees, following the seasons through the trees around us with Marielle Anzelone, urban botanist and ecologist and the founder of NYC Wildflower Week. This month, Jennifer Greenfeld, New York City Parks assistant commissioner for forestry, horticulture, and natural resources, talks about the care and nurturing of street trees and how to be a ‘steward’ for your tree.

@nycbotanist @BrianLehrerSpring is springing. Interesting to see two ash trees in two diff microclimates in the same Bx neighb. Our original pick for#BLTrees, in a wooded area which is shady, is slow to bud and blossom; a nearby ash tree, out in the full sun, is ready to burst.pic.twitter.com/yxfgYccrfW

6 weeks or so later, it is showing hints of green, hosting birds and squirrels that seem to be getting more and more active.#bltrees pic.twitter.com/h0qzbDgW2d
