Groundwork Bridgeport, M&T Bank employees, and community members will join forces on Arbor Day Weekend to plant 15 trees at Old Mill Green as part of a larger effort to expand Bridgeport’s urban tree canopy. Old Mill Green is an 8-acre public green space straddled by Boston Avenue, and bordering the East Side and Upper East Side neighborhoods of Bridgeport. Last year, Groundwork Bridgeport and volunteers planted a total of 60 trees at the site and this Spring we’ll expand on that by planting an additional 55 trees at the site. These tree plantings will eventually create a continuous tree canopy on the site, and offer many environmental benefits to the community, by improving air quality, cooling the air, reducing flooding, and increasing people’s overall physical and mental wellness. No previous experience is necessary to participate, as all tools and instructions will be provided.
