Plant a Tree Day 2019 in Times Square

This green slice of Times Square offers the opportunity for people to plant their very own tree, which will then be transported by One Tree Planted to a forest in upstate New York to continue to grow. We watched as participants did a little digging.

The event features the Big Tree Seekers Facebook Group, which will be on-site to help visitors plant trees. In addition, a series of immersive displays exploring prominent Big Trees from across the country, a GIF photo booth to share the experience, and other interactive activities are on site.

Plant a Tree Day 2019 is located at 42nd Street and Broadway, in the heart of Times Square.
