Tree-mendous news out of Tompkins Square Park.
A burst of planting activity continues in the park, with more to come over the next few weeks.
According to Parks employees, 10 new trees were planted Wednesday alone around Tompkins, with many more expected before the work wraps up later on October.
Crews and volunteers also planted a new rain garden near the dog run, filling the area with native plants.
Elsewhere in Tompkins, a mini-forest is coming to the Seventh Street side between Avenue A and Avenue B.
The work also includes improvements to sidewalk tree pits and planting beds, with old stones being removed, beds refilled and new stones installed. Crews are also performing tree maintenance.
Additional trees are expected along Avenue B between Seventh and Eighth streets.
