Tree Planting at BJ Brown Memorial Park

Groundwork Bridgeport, Henkel employees, and community members will join forces to plant 15 trees at BJ Brown Park as part of a larger effort to expand Bridgeport’s tree canopy. No previous experience is necessary to participate, as all tools and instructions will be provided.

BJ Brown is a 1-acre public park adjacent to the newly opened Wakeman Boys & Girls Club, and Central High School. These tree plantings will eventually create a substantial tree canopy on the site, and offer many environmental benefits to the community at large and to park users by improving air quality, cooling the air, reducing flooding, and increasing people’s overall physical and mental wellness.

We are currently conducting an inventory of all street trees in six neighborhoods in Bridgeport. This inventory will help us determine which areas in Bridgeport are in the greatest need for new tree plantings, and therefore lay the groundwork for future tree plantings. Additionally, it will help us to document and respond to maintenance needs of the existing trees.

During each inventory session we’ll work together to inventory trees within a specific neighborhood. We will be working through this project one neighborhood at a time, and location will change based on which streets we are inventorying on that particular day. Once you’ve signed up for a particular session, we’ll email you with details on where to meet.
