A plan to plant 1 million trees in the Big Apple will be part the massive global-warming blueprint Hizzoner unveils today.
He proposes to more than triple the tree-planting budget to $37.5 million to achieve the million-tree goal by 2017.
They would be planted along streets, and in parks and vacant lots – “every single place where it is possible to plant a street tree,” vowed Deputy Mayor Dan Doctoroff yesterday.
Bloomberg will announce the rest of his “PlaNYC: A Greener Greater New York” proposals, which will include clean air and transportation initiatives, this afternoon. [NYpost]

Our Tax Money at work
Better change the heading to: Mayor Bloomberg wants taxpayers to pay to plant one milion trees in NYC
in the country’s were the tzunami struck, the country’s that have more tree’s at their shoreline more poeple survived the impact of the tzunami therefore giving the world the idea to plant tree’s.
how about a 20% reduction in the d.o.t. aka brownies.
A 20 % reduction in real-estate tax(which he raised) will be much more appreciated by his constituents!
to mayor bloomberg an idea for express tree planting, send the parks department to hwy 87 the northway and with help from the x-mas tree removal company who are experts to remove a tree without any damage to it and drive to nyc, and this is to make it easy for verizon to put up their towers.
are we tzunami proofing nyc.
be careful not chain any bike to a tree, a few yrs ago the park department issued fines to bike owners who used the trees to mount their bikes.
this means 1 million more bike station’s.
Ya gotta love it, except for the roots which get into your systems
