    Describe the challenge you want to address:
    The trees surrounding Public School 9 The Sarah Smith Garnet School face a significant challenge due to limited soil and green space. These trees are essential in providing shade, improving air quality, and reducing the urban heat island effect. However, constrained soil areas hinder their root development, nutrient absorption, and overall health. Additionally, the lack of accessible green space impacts students' and residents' connection with nature, limiting opportunities to experience its benefits within the urban environment.
    What is the solution to the challenge?
    The PS9 Tree Footprint Expansion Initiative seeks funding through NYC's Participatory Budgeting process to address the urgent need for increased soil and green spaces around our mature trees. By investing in the well-being of these vital community assets, we can create a healthier, greener environment for students, the school community, and residents alike.\n\nExpanded soil areas will enable trees to develop strong root systems, absorb essential nutrients, and flourish in the urban environment. In addition to promoting tree health, increased green spaces will enhance the beauty of our community, provide additional shade, improve air quality, and contribute to overall livability.\n\nThis initiative also directly benefits students' education and well-being by providing opportunities for hands-on learning and fostering a connection with nature. As the trees thrive, students can engage in environmental studies, learn about tree care, and develop an appreciation for the role of green spaces in urban environments. The improved outdoor environment will also promote student mental health and provide a more enjoyable space for physical activity during recess and after-school programs.\n\nBy focusing on the tangible benefits of tree space expansion, this initiative directly impacts the environment, quality of life, and educational opportunities for everyone in the community, creating a lasting legacy for future generations.\n
