The PNPP is a street tree planting partnership of the Mary Elizabeth Sharpe Street Tree Endowment, the City of Providence, and the residents of Providence. Since 1988, The Mary Elizabeth Sharpe Street Tree Endowment has matched Providence Parks Department funds to provide trees, soil, sidewalk preparation, and tree delivery at no cost to Providence residents who apply for and receive a Neighborhood Street Tree Planting Award.

The Partnership is a collaboration between the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service programs, the City of Providence–Parks Department, and the Partnership for Providence Parks. They strive to connect children and their families to nature using city parks and urban greenspaces as outdoor learning areas. This is done through partnerships with schools looking to co-facilitate field trips at local parks, public and family programs ranging from nature play to birdwatching and guided hikes along nature trails throughout the city, and summer/after-school activities that encourage outdoor exploration. They also offer professional development opportunities for teachers in the City of Providence each summer. This program is part of a national effort of many Urban Wildlife Conservation Partnerships.
