- MillionTreesNYC Training Program: The MillionTreesNYC Training Program (MTTP) offers experiential learning in tree care, ecological restoration, landscape design and gardening. The program provides underserved youth in the five boroughs with professional skills that support a more sustainable city. In 2008 the TREE Fund facilitated collaboration between NYC Parks and TREE Fund sponsors to provide training, equipment and technical support to the MTTP. Twenty students from the inaugural class were placed in green jobs with not-for-profit and government organizations. The program is ongoing. TREE Fund sponsors that make the program possible include STIHL Inc., Bartlett Tree Experts, Asplundh Tree Expert Co. and The Davey Tree Expert Company.
