Neighborwoods is our two-day, volunteer-led tree planting and community celebration! We’re planting over 200 trees in Garfield Park alongside our friends at Garfield Park Neighborhood Association. We love Neighborwoods because it’s a great time to not only just plant trees, but meet neighbors, build connections, and strengthen community bonds. If you love trees, community, and parks, we hope you’ll join us at Neighborwoods!

We’re deeply grateful to the MLK Park Neighborhood and King Park Neighbors for their incredible support. This year’s success shows what we can achieve together:
Special thanks to Tiffany Fant (Mo Photography), Yummy in the Tummy for community celebration lunch, Wimee from PBS, and our friends at Miigwich who blessed the land and shared traditional corn soup with all participants.
Local media highlighted Neighborwoods’ unprecedented turnout and impact. Coverage focused on record-breaking neighborhood participation, successful tree distribution, and strong volunteer support that made last year’s event exceptional and will continue to carry through our 2025 event.
