Trees on Nostrand Ave

There was a push to plant new trees on Nostrand about 2-3 years ago. Many of them are still young, so don't provide much shade (I'm thinking of the stretch from Prospect down to Pacific). There aren't as many new ones south of Prospect, but the MTA did just come through and plant new trees at all of the SBS stops so Lincoln Place and Herkimer Street now have brand new baby trees as well.

Just remember that on the east side of the street, you'll be unlikely to get trees on the block where the Met is due to truck deliveries (the trees and large trucks don't really co-exist together well). I think everything else is possible on that stretch.

Wish the tree pits had stones filled in if the store owner in front of it won't take care of planting

that is Nostrand Ave and St Marks

One of the things you can do is volunteer to take care of the trees we already have. Apparently Million Trees NYC is looking for people to adopt street trees: http://brooklynbased.com/blog/2014/07/08/milliontreesnyc-still-growing-in-brooklyn-with-a-few-snags-along-the-way/
