The Hejaz Tree Conservation Fund at The Trust supports green spaces in New York City. The fund was created by Abdel H. Afghani, who was born in Saudi Arabia and left his home country in his twenties to create a new life in America. While Afghani dreamed of pursuing a farming career in Pennsylvania, he eventually settled in Staten Island, where he became an accountant for Bankers Trust Co. But thanks to grants from his fund, New Yorkers everywhere benefit from more trees flourishing in the Bronx’s forests, Manhattan’s parks, and beyond.
