Arbor Day is just around the corner (AKA TOMORROW) and we’re sick of it being just another lame holiday!
To spice it up a bit, Glenn Close will be spending the day at Sternberg Park in East Williamsburg, Brooklyn to help plant more than 200 new trees as part of the initiative’s first-ever Arbor Day Tree-mendous Challenge.
The event is part of MillionTreesNYC Month, presented by BNP Paribas, which raises public awareness for MillionTreesNYC – a joint initiative between the City and New York Restoration Project (NYRP) through which one million new trees will be planted and cared for throughout the five boroughs by 2017. That’s a lot of trees!
Close will join NYC Parks Commissioner Adrian Benepe, Department of Education Chancellor Joel Klein, NYRP Executive Director Drew Becher, BNP Paribas North America CEO Everett Schenk and over 500 5th graders to help make this Arbor Day the best one ever!

Happy Arbor Day!!
