About
The Cambridge4Trees mission is to reverse the collapse of the city's tree canopy. The first action was to organize watering of street trees by residents during the height of the historic 2022 heat waves and drought. Actions and advocacy planned for 2023 include:
- Recruit residents to water trees, especially during droughts and heat waves
- Outreach to expand the city programs including planting on private property and Adopt-a-Tree
- Advocate for city management to fully fund & implement the 2019 Urban Forest Master Plan
- Advocate for city management to reorganize parks & tree management to prevent another Danehy Park tree disaster
"Cambridge4Trees" is "Cambridge Citizens for Liveable Neighborhoods, Inc." (CCLN), a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation serving the community since 1994. CCLN has been registered with the city "doing business as" the "Association of Cambridge Neighborhoods" for many years. To better serve this new mission started in 2022, CCLN has now registered "doing business as" Cambridge4Trees.

To accomplish the mission of growing the Cambridge tree canopy, we must first grow Cambridge4Trees. Organizing and outreach have expenses. For example, there are on-line service fees and costs to host events. Please donate something to help get a lot more folks to join the cause.
