Trees save lives. They protect our 🌐and its well being. That’s why I’m excited for the 1st City of Forest Day, organized by @ForestforAllNYC this Saturday!
It’s a day of action that will help lead us towards a healthier and greener future for New York City. #CityofForestDay2022 – at Queens, NY

Good answers!
