Adopting our Neighborhood Trees: "Pause" Bench

The PS39 "Pause Bench" along 6th Avenue has been installed!Without the generous support of a 2017 Summer of Service Disney Be Inspired Grant and the Park Slope Civic Council 2018 Community Grants this project would not have been possible. A shout out to the Student Council and Green Team for leading this project and the many volunteers that came out on Saturday, April 21, 2018 (Global Youth Service Day) to sell baked goods, prep and plant our tree beds along 6th Avenue and 8th Street. City Tree Guard with a permit granted to us by NYC Parks and Recreation Department installed our bench on May 9th, 2018. This all started with an idea by one student. One then turned to many and we made our Neighborhood Adoption of our Trees possible by working together. Thank you!
