The Providence Neighborhood Planting Program (PNPP)

About us

The Providence Neighborhood Planting Program (PNPP) is a tree planting partnership between the Mary Elizabeth Sharpe Providence Neighborhood Planting Program Fund, the City of Providence, and residents and community members of Providence.

Our mission is to plant and steward trees in Providence through community-based partnerships, in order to create a more robust and and equitable urban forest.

We work in close partnership with the Forestry Division of the Providence Parks Department to provide free street trees to Providence residents through our Neighborhood Street Tree Planting Awards.

We also train and empower people to become Providence Community Tree Keepers, work to build awareness of the value and importance the urban forest and tree equity, and support community-based models of tree stewardship to help ensure that everyone can enjoy the benefits of healthy trees where they live, work, learn and play.
