September 17, 2021

Chris Getman, our class liaison to Urban Resources Initiative (URI), called our attention to forestry news from Boston. The city of Boston is looking to greatly expand its urban tree coverage with their Urban Forest Plan.

Mayor Walsh said in the project announcement: “We know how critical trees are as we fight climate change and improve the quality of life for all residents. This urban forest plan is the first of its kind in Boston and is an opportunity to ensure every neighborhood has the resources they deserve and need.”
