The registree charity believes in restoration through education and community participation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the course of the last decade, they\u2019ve planted over 5,000 trees in underserved communities throughout New York City. That includes tree planting on New York City Housing Authority campuses, school playgrounds, community gardens, and street trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Planting the seeds for a brighter future<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The January partnership comes as part of AnswerConnect\u2019s commitment to working with different tree-planting charities and non-profits.

Exposure to trees reduces stress and mental fatigue. They also reduce energy demand through lower air temperatures, mask unsightly views, muffle sound, and absorb dust, wind, and stormwater. They are a tremendously powerful force in the fight against climate change.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Working to create a greener world<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Head of Mattering at AnswerConnect Hester McQueen said,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re excited to partner with Trees New York and support their essential work.
