Valley Organization Plants Thousands of Trees in Public Spaces for Free - WFMJ

The Mahoning Valley Tree Corps plants thousands of trees around Youngstown and Warren in an effort to beautify downtown and residential areas as well as provide shade.

The organization plants trees in publicly available areas such as curb strips in residential areas, city parks, and community green spaces.

“So that when you’re walking down the sidewalk, it’s not blasting sun, you’re in the shade, so that in the spring when you’re driving down the main avenues of our city, and in the neighborhoods, there are coloring, flowering trees,” said Ben Morgan, Youngstown CityScape Tree Corp Coordinator.

The tree corps is composed of the Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corporation (YNDC), Youngstown CityScape, and Trumbull Neighborhood Partnership.
