The goal of the GreenApple Corps is to immerse Corps members in a variety of work and learning experiences to provide them with technical skills, practical knowledge and unparalleled personal development opportunities. GreenApple Corps members work actively in three program areas: Environmental Education, Ecological Restoration and Urban Forestry.

Description:
To let you know a little more about us, GreenApple Corps members work actively in three program areas: Environmental Education, Ecological Restoration and Urban Forestry. The GreenApple Corps weaves these three strands together into a cohesive public benefit program to preserve and restore delicate natural areas, increase the street tree population citywide and turn school children into environmentally aware citizens and stewards. Members commit to a nine month term and often go on to work in related environmental and educational areas.

History:
Begun in 2004 by Commisioner Kavanagh as an initiative to conserve our valuable urban forests and wild areas, it began as an americorps program but has graduated to be a subsidiary of the NYC Parks Dept.
