CUNY DigIn
Student volunteers from the College of Staten Island and other City University of New York schools braved light rain and muggy conditions to gather on the north end of the CSI campus to plant 750 small trees as part of the CUNY-wide Dig-In tree-planting initiative.
The trees are being planted on the CSI campus under the auspices of MillionTreesNYC, an effort launched by NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg and New York Restoration Project (NYRP) founder, Bette Midler. The City of New York Parks & Recreation Department has partnered with the NYRP to plant trees throughout the five boroughs, with a goal of one million trees by 2017.
