Each tree planting season, the NJ Tree Foundation partners with the New Jersey Parole Board to hire men for a tree planting crew, creating transitional jobs for individuals under parole supervision. Transitional jobs are time-limited jobs that combine real work, skill development, and support services to help participants overcome barriers to employment. Since spring 2006, this program has planted 18,956 trees and employed 119 parolees.

Green Streets is supported through contracts. You can hire our Green Streets crew for affordable, high-quality tree-planting, tree maintenance, rain garden planting & maintenance, and training services for your town! Contact Lisa for a free estimate: lsimms@njtreefoundation.org.

James and his crew finished planting all of the CSIP Grant trees this afternoon. I met with {the State Forester} for several hours this morning and took him around for our first state inspection. He checked everything -- each tree flare, etc., and was very pleased. Great crew! It was my pleasure to work with them!" - Kathleen Bagley, Shade Tree Commissioner in Woodcliff Lake
