Southie Trees Boosts Tree Cover!

On Saturday November 5th, Southie Trees and the West Broadway Neighborhood Association went forth with their plan to plant new trees in South Boston.

Thanks to grant awards from Grow Boston Greener, ten trees were planted in two different locations in the neighborhood. The WBNA was able to successfully plant six 12′ tall London Plane trees near the Broadway train station on Foundry Street with help from local resident volunteers. Aided with hot coffee and muffins from the Cranberry Cafe, they completed the planting and added a fresh layer of mulch to the planting beds.

Shortly after, Southie Trees planted four flowering cherry trees along the Golden Stairs in Dorchester Heights. Several Youth Ambassadors came out to help plant these trees and daffodil bulbs. The welcoming sunny weather greeted the site upon completion while volunteers helped themselves to a free donated lunch from Red Line Pizza & Grill.

Special thanks to Garda Nee Land Improvement for their help in planning the event and ordering supplies!
