DOWNTOWN community forestry PROGRAM

Last fall (2022) DowntownABQ MainStreet and Arts & Cultural District launched a volunteer led initiative to plot street trees in Downtown.

Plotting included taking note of the trees conditions as well as locations where street trees had once lived and can be re-planted. Thanks to our amazing volunteers we have successfully logged 1,638 trees, 475 existing planting spots and 321 potential planting locations if concrete is removed. See the full report linked below.

UP NEXT: DowntownABQ MainStreet and partners are setting the ground work for the next phase of the Downtown Community Forestry Program: updates to irrigation lines and tree planting! Sign up for our newsletter and follow our social media pages for the most recent updates.

This project has been made possible by: Groundwork Studio, New Mexico MainStreet, CABQ Parks & Recreation, Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department NM State Forestry and in partnership with Let's Plant ABQ to bring 100,000 trees to Albuquerque by 2030.
