With help from the Grow Boston Greener program, Southie Trees and the West Broadway Neighborhood Association have joined forces in the South Boston community to help increase tree cover.
Grow Boston Greener is an initiative put in place by the City of Boston and Boston Natural Areas Network to build on the city’s urban forest. GBG accepts grant proposals twice a year from neighborhood groups interested in planting trees.
Both Southie Trees and WBNA were awarded funds to plant trees in South Boston. In collaboration with Garda Nee Land Improvement and Weston Nurseries, a tree planting day has been scheduled for this Saturday morning
in two separate locations. WBNA will be planting six london plane trees on Foundry Street in the train yard. Following their planting, Southie Trees plans to plant four flowering cherry trees and handfuls of daffodil bulbs along the Golden Stairs in Dorchester Heights.
Both tree plantings will be volunteer-based and coffee and muffins will be available all morning thanks to a generous donation from Cranberry Cafe. After both of the tree plantings have been completed, everyone is invited to a free lunch. If you would like to help in the planting effort, you can RSVP to the Facebook event here!
Get your good deed in for the day by getting your hands dirty for a worthy cause!
